In the Pokrovsk direction, Russian forces are attempting to push beyond the city and assault Hryshyne.

At the same time, the Defense Forces are confidently controlling the situation and firmly holding their positions, destroying the enemy’s logistics.

This was stated during an Army TV stream on March 16 by a representative of the 425th Separate Assault Regiment “Skelia”, call sign “Engineer”.

“The situation is difficult but under control. The enemy is not abandoning attempts to break beyond Pokrovsk and advance further, trying to assault Hryshyne. We are holding the defense. Three Russian armies are operating against us in this sector, but we are confidently holding the line”, — he said.

Weather changes have not significantly affected the enemy’s actions. Accordingly, Ukrainian units continue to apply established tactics to disrupt enemy logistics and strike accumulation areas and shelters.

“As for the weather, I wouldn’t say much has changed. Maybe activity decreased slightly, as the enemy tries to make maximum use of conditions, but nothing fundamentally different.

We detect and destroy everything that attempts to move toward us. We control all their logistics routes and accumulation points. There is no significant advantage on their side. Three battalions of unmanned systems are operating here, so we confidently control the situation”, — the serviceman added.
