According to the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, since the beginning of January 12, the occupiers have made 33 attempts to push our defenders from their positions in the Pokrovsk direction. The defense forces are holding back the enemy's advance and have repelled 22 attacks, with 11 clashes still ongoing.
In the Pokrovsk area, the enemy is only using infantry; there is neither armored nor lightly armored equipment present.
This was shared by a serviceman from the 1st Separate Unit of the Special Operations Center "Omega" with the call sign "Artist" during a national television marathon "Unified News."
"The situation is tough but manageable... Essentially, we are not facing serious problems right now... The enemy's current tactic involves so-called 'meat assaults.' They are utilizing a mass infantry push.
They are employing only infantry; there is currently no armored or lightly armored equipment in the area. They are moving using ATVs and civilian vehicles...
Mobilized individuals or contract soldiers are going in first and are falling. Following them are career military personnel who know how to make certain decisions," said "Artist."
