"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.
