Russia has recently been advancing towards Pokrovsk and has regularly announced that it has taken control of nearby villages.
“Pokrovsk and other areas in the Donetsk region are extremely difficult: the key Russian efforts and the largest forces are concentrated there,” Zelenskyy said in his evening address, citing a report by army chief Oleksandr Syrsky.
Ukraine’s General Staff said in an update on Wednesday afternoon that the situation “is the hottest in the Pokrovsk sector”.
It said there was “fierce fighting” in a number of villages close to the city.
“So far, the enemy has made 38 attempts to storm Ukrainian positions. Combat is still ongoing in 14 locations,” the General Staff said.
