Adverse weather conditions have complicated the operation of Ukrainian defenders in Pokrovsk, but they continue to counter the Russian invaders, reported 7th Rapid Reaction Corps of the Air Assault Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

"Ukrainian defense forces continue to hold back Russian troops along the entire contact line in the 7th Corps' area of responsibility. Due to the deteriorating weather conditions, the defense operation in Pokrovsk is complicated. The dense fog that has been hovering over the city over the past day has significantly hampered the work of Ukrainian units, including aerial reconnaissance. This limits visibility, as well as the ability to detect and destroy the enemy," the statement said.
