Ukraine Deploys Special Forces โขto pokrovsk โขAmid Intensifiedโ Russian Offensive
Pokrovsk, Ukraine – Ukrainian forces have deployed specialโข forces to the eastern city of Pokrovsk โas Russia intensifies its โoffensive with โa force estimated in the thousands. โThe move comes as Pokrovsk,โข a key logistical hub in the Donetskโฃ region, faces mounting pressure from Russianโ troops whoโ have infiltrated theโ city’s center and are attempting a pincer movement around its outskirts.
The battle for Pokrovsk is strategically significant, as the city sits on a primary supply routeโค for the Ukrainian armyโข and would represent a substantial propaganda victoryโค for theโค Kremlin โฃif captured. Russia has continued itsโ groundโข offensiveโ despite calls from โthe United States to halt its nearly four-year invasion of Ukraine.
Ukrainian Commander-in-Chief Oleksandrโ syrsky โannounced on facebook that a “comprehensive operation โขto destroy and expel enemy forces from pokrovsk is underway,” and that โjointโฃ groups โof Special Operations Forces are actively operating within โฃthe city.
While syrsky acknowledgedโข the city is under pressure fromโ “an enemy group thousands โฃstrong,” he refuted claims of a complete blockade ofโ the logistics center, stating, “We are doing everything to โprovide logistics.”
Reports circulating on social media โinclude video โฃfootage purportedly โshowing a helicopterโข flying โฃover Pokrovsk and another, allegedly capturedโฃ by a Russian drone, depicting individuals evacuating โคfrom a helicopter landing in a field. Special Operations Forces are trained for covert operations, often employing โขunconventional โwarfare tactics โฃlike sabotage and diversion.
