Commander Of Ukraine's 7Th Air Assault Corps Explains Why Defenders Withdrew From Pokrovsk
"At that point, the military command needed to respond to the enemy's active operations. When choosing between Pokrovsk and Dobropillia-that is, deciding where to send the reserves-Dobropillia was chosen, and that was the right decision. Otherwise, the enemy would have gained control over a broad front and advanced deep into the operational area," he said.

"Our corps brigades were deployed there, among other units," he added.
As previously reported, Russian forces lost another 2,220 troops in the war against Ukraine over the past day, along with three multiple-launch rocket systems (MLRS).
