“Ukraine is unable to stop Russia’s flanking strike near Pokrovsk,” – a military analyst said

The Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) are incapable of halting the flanking attack by Russian forces in the Pokrovsk area.

This information reported according to Bild military analyst Julian Röpcke.

“Russian forces have entered two settlements 10 km west of the city, and there are no indications that their previously successful flanking tactics won’t lead to the capture of yet another city by the invaders,” he wrote on his account on X.

The analyst concluded that, given the previous successes of Russian forces, their flanking tactics are likely to succeed in this case as well. The AFU will not be able to withstand such an assault.

It is worth noting that the city of Pokrovsk in Donbas is a critical military hub for the AFU.

Earlier, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, following his visit to Pokrovsk, announced the need to take measures against certain Ukrainian officials who are ignoring the difficult situation in the AFU-controlled parts of Donetsk Oblast.
