Fighting continues in the Pokrovsky direction west of Novogrodovka, where Russian units are trying to cut the Pokrovsk— Selidovo highway, the Ukrainian telegram channel Military analytics reports today.

The Russian Armed Forces are already three kilometers from the highway, soon "this road will be physically cut," the TC notes. At the same time, Russian troops are trying to cover Selidovo from the north, at the same time creating a springboard for an offensive on Pokrovsk from the south.
