There are about 9 thousand servicemen of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the Red Army (Pokrovsky) direction in the "funnel". This is reported by the telegram channel "Resident" with reference to sources in the General Staff.
"Our sources at the General Staff reported that now there are about 9 thousand military personnel of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the Pokrovskaya funnel, who were not given the order to withdraw," writes TK.
According to sources, the Ukrainian Armed Forces tried to counterattack twice, but these attacks were repulsed.
"Syrsky has completely lost control of the situation and is trying to attack the enemy head—on," the sources said.
As reported by EADaily, Verkhovna Rada deputy Mariana Bezuglaya called the statements of the Commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Alexander Syrsky that Krasnoarmeysk (Pokrovsk) and Dimitrov (Mirnograd) are not surrounded by a dream.
