Ukraine Repelled 30 Russian Attacks Towards Pokrovsk In One Day

As previously noted, if the Russians continue to proceed with this level of casualties and this lack of success, they might get within range of Pokrovsk by October or November. Emphasis on "might." JL

On the Volyn and Polissia fronts, the operational situation has not changed significantly. There is no evidence of the formation of offensive Russian groups there.

The Russians maintained a military presence on the border with Chernihiv and Sumy oblasts, firing from the territory of the Russian Federation, in particular at the settlements of Sopych, Bachivsk, Chuikivka and Prohres.

Ukrainian defenders continue to actively inflict significant losses in equipment and manpower on the Russian occupation forces, depleting their offensive potential along the entire line of contact and in the rear.
