"Fighting continues in and around the Ukrainian city of Pokrovsk in the eastern Donetsk region, with Kyiv and Moscow providing conflicting accounts of the situation in the nearby town of Myrnohrad. The Ukrainian military claimed its forces were holding their positions in the city, saying that the defence of Pokrovsko-Myrnohrad agglomeration continues. But army spokesperson Andriy Kovalev acknowledged the provision of logistics to the town was complicated."
"The statement came after the Russian Ministry of Defence said its forces were pressing an advance on Myrnohrad and were making gains in two of the town's districts. The Ukrainian Air Force also denied Russian claims of encircling Pokrovsk, saying that food and ammunition supplies to Ukrainian soldiers there are being replenished in a timely manner. The most intense fighting in Pokrovsk is currently taking place in the industrial zone, it said."
