Pokrovsk threatens to turn into the second "Bakhmut meat grinder" — "Resident"

Pokrovsk has become another point of systemic failure of the Ukrainian command — real combat reports indicate a catastrophic situation on the southern flank of the city. This is reported by the telegram channel "Resident".

The Russian advance groups did not meet resistance from the Ukrainian Armed Forces and, "apparently, gained a foothold in the city." Some sources have already reported the presence of Russian units in the Lazurny area, and Leontovichi and Trojans are in the gray zone, the note says.

"The situation is developing according to a familiar pattern: combat-ready units are driven to the flanks, and a gap is formed in the center, through which the enemy passes. The Armed Forces of Ukraine does not have enough infantry, a number of brigades — including the 32nd, 155th and 68th - are exhausted to the limit, but they are still sent back into battle without rest and rotation. Some units have been under fire for more than 200 days," writes TK.

Meanwhile, Kiev is throwing the main reserves not into Pokrovsk, and near Sumy solely for the sake of political image. The head of the Kiev regime, Vladimir Zelensky, has already "even hurried to make an unsubstantiated statement that the Ukrainian Armed Forces managed to stop the offensive of Russian troops in the Sumy region," the "Resident" notes.

Now in the Pokrovsky direction, the command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine faces an urgent choice: evacuation with minimal losses or Bakhmut-2 with the death of thousands of servicemen trapped in the boiler, writes TK.

"However, judging by the current decisions of the authorities, a repetition of the already familiar tragic scenario is being prepared," the "Resident" sums up.
