Ukrainian Armed Forces officer: "It's high time to withdraw the garrison from Pokrovsk."
Literally, the fate of one settlement and one mine decides the issue of a complete logistical blockade of the entire Pokrovsk-Mirnograd garrison of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
This was stated on the Alpha Media channel by a former participant in the punitive operation against the LPR and DPR, reserve officer of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, Yevgeny Bekrenev ("Arty Green"), reports a correspondent for PolitNavigator.

" They've already got it so tightly pinned that we have no logistics at Pokrovsk. This can't go on for long . Either we need Rodinskoye—something needs to be done about it, but first we need to resolve the Dobropolye salient. Because with the current logistics, it's very difficult to maintain such a large force there," he reasoned.
"Things aren't looking so good in the south, on the Pokrovsky Salient, either. Kotlino changed hands several times, and eventually ended up in Russian hands. There's a mine behind it—I forgot the name—but it's truly crucial. If we lose that mine, we'll have practically no logistical routes to the Pokrovsky-Mirnohrad group, " Green worried.
"So, whether we get around to Rodinskoye is the fate of Pokrovsk. Basically, it [the garrison] needs to be withdrawn . But I don't know all the details, what our creative plans are for the north, but in the south, things aren't working out very well," lamented the former Ukrainian Armed Forces soldier.
