Russians lack manpower on Pokrovsk axis – military spox

As reported by Ukrinform, this was stated by Viktor Trehubov, Spokesperson for the Khortytsia Operational Strategic Group of Troops, during a TV broadcast.

"The enemy’s pressure in several sectors of the frontline is ongoing. The Pokrovsk sector remains their priority, followed by the Novopavlivka sector. There are also persisting attempts of sabotage and reconnaissance groups to advance in the Kupiansk sector are. However, the main efforts are focused on Pokrovsk. The strategic task of the Russians is quite clear: in the south, they attempt to bypass Pokrovsk from the west, while in the east, they aim to create large ‘clamps’ around Kostiantynivka. But both tasks are far from being completed. In fact, on the Pokrovsk axis, which is their primary focus, we see that the Russians are running out of resources. And they don't hide this," Trehubov stated.

According to him, the Russians are lacking drones and other equipment.

"Despite the widespread propaganda in Russia, certain individuals cannot hide everything. They constantly mention, yes, they are short on drones, yes, they are lacking personnel and," the Spokesperson added.

As reported by Ukrinform, earlier, Trehubov mentioned that in the area of responsibility of the Khortytsia Operational Strategic Group, the Russians are losing as many tanks in a month as some European countries have in their entire armed forces.
