“It is precisely there, against Pokrovsk, that the russians have concentrated their main strike group; it is a significant number of occupier troops. Of course, this creates a difficult situation in Pokrovsk and in all neighboring districts. Fierce fighting is happening everywhere, and on the approaches to the city — there are sabotage and reconnaissance groups in the city, and logistics are difficult, but we must continue to destroy the occupier, we must continue to inflict as many losses as possible on the russians”, - President Volodymyr Zelensky said in his evening address on October 26.
The president emphasized that the plans of the russian offensive campaign over the ten months of this year were once again foiled thanks to the bravery of Ukrainian warriors.
“And all the deadlines that putin set for them, the russian army did not meet, and this is not the first time”, - he said.
Zelensky also added that “much has been done within the framework of the Dobropillia operation”. In these areas there is a substantial replenishment of the exchange pool for Ukraine.
