The Russian command is attempting to capitalize on its success south of Pokrovsk and has concentrated several units from the 41st and 2nd general armies on a small section of the front for this purpose.
This was reported by military analyst and coordinator of the "Information Resistance" group, Konstantin Mashovets, on his Telegram channel here.
Konstantin Mashovets pointed out that to establish a more centralized command over the strike grouping composed of mixed units from both armies, the enemy command took two significant steps: it transferred overall command of these troops to the 41st general army and incorporated the 90th tank division, which previously operated as a separate unit, into its structure.
According to the expert, these measures have granted the Russian occupying forces a considerable advantage in strength and resources south of Pokrovsk, allowing them to advance.
In particular, it has been reported that the enemy's forward units managed to significantly expand their foothold after cutting the Pokrovsk-Mezheva road and have begun fighting for Udaychne and Kotlyne. Additionally, the occupiers seem to have managed to seize the village of Zverovoe while attacking towards Pyschane – Zverovoe.
Furthermore, Konstantin Mashovets mentioned that the enemy continues its attempts to advance along both banks of the Solenaya River to the west, towards Solenoe – Novosergievka and Novovasilovka – Uspenovka, although they have not achieved significant tactical successes in these areas.
