Some cities remain under Ukrainian control.

A part of Pokrovsk and Mirnohrad in Donetsk Region is still under the control of Ukrainian troops. The occupants have failed to seize these territories.

About this "RBC-Ukraine" was told by the speaker of the group of troops "Vostok" Grigory Shapoval.

"Now in the zone of the group of troops "Vostok" we record the most fighting in the area of Pokrovsk and Kostyantynivka. The enemy will not be able to conduct any massive attacks in other directions while Pokrovsk and Mirnograd are standing," Shapoval said.

He said that the 7th Corps of the DSHV is doing a lot of work in the area of Pokrovsk and Mirnograd and continues to be in these cities, having established logistics.

"Part of these cities is still under our control. A significant part of the territories in this agglomeration is in the gray zone, but the enemy is still bogged down there," the speaker added.

Reminder, Russian troops launched a spring-summer offensive in Donetsk region. The main blow was directed at the Limansk direction, which opens the way to Slavyansk and Kramatorsk.

The invaders are trying to break through the so-called "belt of fortresses" of the Ukrainian defense.
