A Defence Forces fighter about the battles on the Pokrovsk direction: "The front is cracking"

In the Pokrovsk direction in the Donetsk region, Russian forces are advancing. They have moved forward in the area of Udachne and entered Valentynivka.

This was reported by a Defence Forces fighter with the call sign "Muchnoy".

According to him, the enemy managed to advance in a northeast direction in the village of Udachne. Here, the Defence Forces were able to destroy the Russian occupiers’ shelters using FPV drones. Battles and enemy attacks are ongoing.

Muchnoy also reported that the grey zone is expanding south of Kotlyne towards the balka and Volkove. In the industrial zone east of the village, the enemy is still present.

"In the area of the village of Shevchenko, our fighters are using FPV drones against the enemy, an enemy group was destroyed. In Lysivka, our drones continue their work, the enemy is being eliminated in the northern part, and one building is subjected to 3-4 drops," Muchnoy reported.

In the area of the Myrnohradsko-Toretska agglomeration, Russian troops entered Valentynivka and are trying to gain a foothold in the northern part of the settlement to begin fighting for Sukha Balka.

"If the enemy reaches Oleksandropol, we will have to retreat across the Bychok River to another line of defence, the front here is tense, and it is urgently necessary to close the gap," Muchnoy reported.

In the report of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine from April 14, it was noted that in the Pokrovsk direction, Ukrainian forces stopped 54 Russian attacks in the areas of Sukha Balka, Tarasivka, Vodyane Druhe, Yelyzavetivka, Kotlyne, Novosergiyivka, Bohdanivka, Andriivka, as well as towards Stara Mykolaivka, Zvyrove, Udachne, and Oleksandropol.
