Ukrainian troops were able to stabilize the situation in the Pokrovsk direction and even seize the initiative in some areas. This was reported by Commander-in-Chief of the Ukrainian Armed Forces Oleksandr Syrskyi.
In particular, he highlighted the 425th Separate Assault Regiment "Skelia", which uses active defense tactics and eliminates the invaders.
“Thanks to the efforts of ‘Skelia’, Ukraine has not for the first time regained control over territories captured by the enemy. This was the case in 2022 in Izium, during the Kharkiv offensive operation, and again this spring near the village of Shevchenko in the Pokrovsk area”, - Syrskyi said.
The Commander-in-Chief also reported that during his working trip, he awarded servicemen of the 425th Regiment with honorary decorations.
