Zelenskyy Says Russia Rushes to Capture Pokrovsk
“The number one goal for the Russians is to occupy Pokrovsk as soon as possible,” stated Zelenskyy, according to Ukrainian media.
He explained that approximately 314 Russian soldiers are presently positioned inside the city, while a larger contingent operates on its outskirts. Ukrainian forces have documented 220 attacks on Pokrovsk over the past three days, he added.
“I think this factor may influence both the advancement of sanctions and their delay. Russia fears strong decisions from the United States and wants to use Pokrovsk to show success on the battlefield,” he remarked.
Zelenskyy also revealed that Russian troops endured their most severe monthly losses in October since the beginning of the war, estimating casualties between 27,000 and 28,000 personnel.
He attributed this to the intensified deployment of drones.
Furthermore, he announced the imminent commencement of extensive domestic production of Mavic-style drones, emphasizing that “funded contracts are already being prepared.”
