The Russian forces continue their offensive toward Pokrovsk in Donetsk Oblast despite suffering heavy losses, Ukrainian Armed Forces Commander-in-Chief Oleksandr Syrskyi reported on Facebook on July 22.
He made this statement after visiting and assessing situation at Ukraine's East.
"I am working at the Eastern front hotspots," Syrskyi said.
"The enemy ignores their considerable losses and continues to push towards Pokrovsk," Syrskyi said.
Fierce battles are ongoing in Krasnohorivka and the areas around Prohres, Zalizne, Pivnichne, and Chasiv Yar, he added.
Russian forces persist in their attempts to capture Stelmakhivka and Makiivka.
They attack Ukrainian defense positions in Ivanivske and Klishchiivka and try to seize islands in the Dnipro River's left bank floodplain.
Active combat operations of varying intensity are happening along nearly the entire front.
Frontline situation in Donetsk Oblast
