In the Pokrovsk direction, fighting continues between Ukrainian defenders and Russian occupiers. However, our paratroopers manage to hold back the Russian army.
Staff Sergeant 3rd category of the communications department of the 25th separate airborne Sicheslav brigade of the Airborne assault troops of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Sergey Okishev told the host of the telethon Edini Novyny Vadim Karpyak about the situation in the Pokrovsky direction.
Battles in the Pokrovsky direction — how they are holding back the advance of the Russian Federation
— The situation is really tense, but under control. The enemy is using almost all types of weapons at its disposal. In recent days, they have begun to use both armored and light armored vehicles, — noted Sergey Okishev.
According to him, the Sicheslav paratroopers are holding back the Russian invasion and burning all enemy equipment that is trying to enter Ukrainian positions, and are also destroying infantry.
Now watching
— The enemy's losses are simply colossal, so we are fighting and holding back. The situation is under control now, — emphasized the Ukrainian serviceman.
Is there a threat of encirclement of Selidovo in Donetsk Oblast
— I can't tell you anything about the settlement itself. It is in our brigade's area of responsibility that the positions have not gone anywhere. We are firmly in our positions and defending them. There is no such information about the settlement of Selidovo itself at the moment, — said Sergey Okishev.
According to him, the Ukrainian military needs drones and electronic warfare systems specifically against Russian drones.
— We need a large number of Mavics, both night and day, and FPV drones. Our pilots have demonstrated the effectiveness of these little birds. We destroy a colossal number of both armored and lightly armored vehicles in this direction. We need these little birds in large quantities every day, — he emphasized.
Staff Sergeant 3rd category of the communications department of the 25th separate airborne Sicheslav brigade noted that they need motivated soldiers.
— I would like to remind you that the 25th separate airborne Sicheslav brigade has a recruiting center. It is physically located in Dnepr. You can call 066 25 25 025. You will be consulted and prompted. You will be able to choose a specialty that you like, help our country already in the ranks of the best brigade. And be not just a friend of the Airborne Forces, but become an Airborne Forces yourself, — explained Sergey Okishev.
