Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has stated that he heard a report from Oleksandr Syrskyi, Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, who confirmed that Ukrainian defenders are holding the Pokrovsk entrance and that details about the occupation of Chasiv Yar is "a Russian faux".
Supply: Zelenskyy's night tackle on 31 July
Quote: "There was a report from Commander-in-Chief Syrskyi. The road of contact, particularly the Pokrovsk entrance, the place our models are holding their positions. Pokrovsk and Dobropillia are the place essentially the most intense preventing is going on. It's essential that our warriors are repelling Russian sabotage and reconnaissance teams, small teams which might be continuously attempting to interrupt into town, continuously attempting to realize a foothold there. That’s the Russian tactic and our response to it’s the destruction of the occupiers.
There have been Russian fakes right now [31 July], as you could have seen, [information about occupation] of Chasiv Yar is Russian disinformation. Ukrainian models are defending our positions and we’re repelling each Russian try to advance in Donetsk, Sumy and Kharkiv oblasts."
Background: On 31 July, the Russian Defence Ministry claimed that Russian forces had captured town of Chasiv Yar in Donetsk Oblast. The Khortytsia Operational Tactical Group refuted these claims.
