A military expert told about the counter-offensive of the AFU in the area of Pokrovsk.
The Ukrainian armed forces continue their counter-offensive in Donetsk Region. Ukrainian defenders there have already managed to liberate 7 settlements. The enemy is facing serious problems.
The head of the Ukrainian Center for Security and Cooperation Sergey Kuzan told the "Channel 24" that the largest counterattack operation is now taking place in the Dobropillya direction. According to him, potentially, there are three "cauldrons", i.e. three encirclements, being prepared for the Russians.
Sergey Kuzan noted that the operation of the Defense Forces, which has been going on for the second month, does not allow the units of the occupation forces to unblock their forces, which are now encircled.
"Of course, we will not see results in the next few days, but over the next weeks or perhaps months we will see problems for the Russian troops. They will be forced to redeploy their best assault units to this direction, in particular airborne assault troops and marine infantry units," he said.
The enemy is likely to send additional forces to the Donetsk region precisely from the Sumy direction. All in order to correct the critical situation that has developed near Dobropillya.

Russia in this direction has already suffered more than 1,000 casualties among personnel, about 100 people have surrendered. The ratio of Russian and Ukrainian losses is 5 to 1.
The chairman of the Ukrainian Center for Security and Cooperation noted that our assault units in the Dobropillya direction are doing an extremely jewel-like job, preserving personnel.
The Russians have a problem with the rapid transfer of reserves, because more and more Defense Forces are striking enemy command and logistics centers. In addition, there are also strikes on the Russian railroad, in particular, 15 tank cars of fuel were destroyed.
Kuzan emphasized that this has created disruptions in the supply of enemy groups in the Sumy and Kharkov directions. In addition, Vladimir Putin's general plans to occupy a significant part of our territories failed to materialize. Moreover, the Defense Forces, having moved to counterattack actions, created a critical situation for the enemy, although he has a significant advantage in manpower.
