The Russian occupiers penetrated deep into Pokrovsk The situation in the city remains difficult. This was stated by the head of the communications department of the 155th Anna Kyivska Separate Brigade, Artem Prybylnov, in a comment to"Radio Liberty".

The situation in Pokrovsk

"Urban battles are underway now. All this happened under constant enemy fire in October, and November is no exception. The enemy has increased the number of KAB (guided aerial bomb - UNIAN) attacks on the Pokrovskaya agglomeration to a record number. For several days there were simply hundreds of KABs per day," he said.

Pribylnov noted that if Ukrainian positions are detected, the Russians strike them with 15 FPV drones and necessarily drop guided aerial bombs. The enemy also uses artillery and mortars.

"I often come across comments on the Internet when people unfamiliar with military affairs are desperately fighting against the fact that we are retreating. We are not retreating, we are retreating to reserve positions, because the defense lines have been completely destroyed and cannot be restored," the head of the communications department of the 155th Motorized Rifle Brigade emphasized.

How many Russians are in Pokrovsk now?

Pribylnov shared that, according to the 7th Corps of the Russian Defense Ministry, there are currently about two hundred Russian soldiers in Pokrovsk. According to him, enemy soldiers are constantly infiltrating the city.

"Our brigade inflicts the bulk of its losses on the approaches to the city. This is still Zverevo, Pershe Travnya (Leontovichi), where they are trying to go deep into the buildings. Of course, when they are already climbing into the basements and the remains of buildings, it is very difficult to smoke them out," added the head of the communications department of the 155th Motorized Rifle Brigade.

Fighting in urban environments

Pribylnov said that not only GUR fighters, but also all units located in the city, are engaged in clearing the city of enemy soldiers. He admitted that it is the specialized units that are trained to work in urban conditions.

""Urban" (fighting in the city - UNIAN), believe me, these are the most difficult conditions for waging war. The enemy, by the way, is not prepared for such conditions. Judging by the interceptions, the servicemen who were captured by us, the information from their phones - well, I won't say that these are professional military personnel. These are mostly refuseniks," Pribylnov said.

The military added that the 155th brigade of the Russian army was not withdrawn from the line, as it was completely destroyed.

"GUR are just special forces fighters who are trained for the "urban". I think that the enemy will now have a lot of problems when meeting with them," said Pribylnov.

Russians actively use drones and KABs

He noted that the enemy is using a huge number of aircraft in the Pokrovsky direction.

"The sky is dark simply from drones. These are Zala, Orlan, Supercam reconnaissance aircraft, which are constantly flying and trying to detect the positions of our guys. The defense is very dynamic now, positions are constantly moving, there is a clearing, urban battles are going on. The enemy has now increased the number of"eyes" over Pokrovsky, massively using FPV, in particular on optics," Pribylnov said.

According to him, the Russians have realized their numerical superiority. Moreover, the enemy has increased the firepower with reconnaissance and strike drones, as well as KABs.

"The enemy has completely changed the face of the city. Pokrovsk now generally looks like a ruin. It can't even be compared to this summer," the military man added.

Earlier, the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine reported that There is no encirclement of Ukrainian units and units in Pokrovsk It is noted that the Russians continue to suffer losses in the battles for the city.

In addition, military units of the Defense Forces of Ukraine have been reinforced. As noted in the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, measures are being taken to block the enemy, who is trying to infiltrate and accumulate in the city.
