Russians prepare offensive in Pokrovsk sector, Defense Forces control situation - Zelensky

This was announced by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky during a briefing, according to Ukrinform.

"The situation on the frontline is more or less normal and under control. The Pokrovsk sector is the most serious today. The enemy's buildup and concentration there is up to 100,000, as of this morning. They are preparing offensive actions in any case. It is important that we know this and are in control," Zelensky said.

According to him, active hostilities continue in the Kharkiv and Donetsk regions.

“It is not easy for the enemy there today,” the President said, adding that fairly successful search operations are being conducted near Kupiansk, where 30 enemy sabotage and reconnaissance groups have been destroyed, detected by the Defense Forces.

In the Sumy sector, Ukrainian defenders are pushing back the enemy, while in the Zaporizhzhia sector, the situation remains stable.

“No changes in Zaporizhzhia. In fact, it is dangerous there because they are accumulating their landing forces and this group is quite large,” Zelensky said.

He also added that the situation in the Dnipropetrovsk region is under control.

As reported by Ukrinform, 191 combat clashes between the Ukrainian Defense Forces and Russian invaders were recorded on the frontline yesterday, August 28.
