The AFU withdrew from Leontovychy: a military official confirmed the loss of the settlement in the Donetsk region

Ukrainian serviceman "Muchnyi" confirms the loss of the village of Leontovychi (formerly Pershe Travnya), located south of Pokrovsk.

This has been reported since last night by Russian public sources, publishing videos with Russian soldiers and the Russian flag from this location.

According to "Muchnyi," the Armed Forces of Ukraine have retreated to the outskirts of Pokrovsk. Earlier, he reported that the Ukrainian forces had ousted the Russians from Leontovychi.

"The situation has begun to escalate rapidly again; our units were unable to hold Leontovychi. Due to the intense pressure of enemy infantry, constant operation of FPV drones, and artillery – every house literally came under fire. Holding the settlement became impossible, so our soldiers retreated to prepared positions closer to the suburbs," writes "Muchnyi."

He also says that the Russians have intensified their advance on Pokrovsk from the spoil tip to the east, attempting to break through to the outskirts of the Lazurnyi neighborhood. The village of Troyanda remains under the control of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
