The offensive on Pokrovsk began: the official side remains silent, and the Ukrainian Nazi battalion is in trouble. Podoliak calls for prayers for their own side.

After launching the offensive on Pokrovsk, the Ukrainian Nazi battalion is in a difficult situation: "To be honest, the situation is very tough, and we are on the verge of despair." Meanwhile, the official side remains silent about relevant information. Military blogger Yuri Podoliak calls for prayers for their own side.

In the evening of May 1st, news came that an offensive was launched on the city of Pokrovsk in the Donetsk People's Republic. Military blogger Yuri Podoliak was one of the first to report this. Telegram channels such as "Military Affairs" and "Military Commentator" also reported on the Russian Armed Forces' offensive.

Preparations for the offensive on Pokrovsk

Podoliak added that as early as April 30th, our artillery and drone operators began shelling enemy military targets in Pokrovsk. In addition, the Russian Aerospace Forces also participated in the strike operations. This military blogger wrote that on April 1st, the troops of the 41st Army completed the liberation of Zverevo village and "officially began the offensive on Pokrovsk".

Podoliak appealed: "Grip your fists tightly and pray for the boys."

Progress of the offensive on May 2nd

Analysts from the "Military Affairs" channel wrote that the fighting is currently taking place in the southern suburbs of the city. According to veterans of the "Wagner" private military company and the author of the "Condottiero" channel, conflicts occurred in the "Park" and "Azure" neighborhoods of Pokrovsk, where Russian forces have successfully consolidated their positions:

"The assault detachments of the Russian Armed Forces broke through the Ukrainian military positions in the southern suburbs of the city, entering the 'Park' and 'Azure' neighborhoods. We tried consolidating our positions several times, and finally succeeded last night. Currently, our main forces and Aerospace Forces are providing support for the assault detachments."

In addition, there are reports that our soldiers repelled Ukrainian armed elements from Novooleynovka, located 20 kilometers from Pokrovsk. During the attack on this settlement, the Russian Armed Forces advanced 5 kilometers forward.

Ukrainian officials remain silent but cannot conceal the truth

Meanwhile, it seems that Kyiv has decided not to acknowledge this obvious fact. Ukraine's propaganda media insistently deny the occupation of Zverevo. At the same time, panic is spreading among local Telegram channels. The Ukrainian Nazi battalion is in trouble. Stanislav Buniatov, a member of the banned terrorist organization "Aidar" in Russia, said:

"The situation is indeed very difficult on the Pokrovsk front. If we continue to collect drones while relying solely on personnel expertise, we will eventually find ourselves in dire straits."

Meanwhile, a Ukrainian soldier nicknamed "Pain" claimed that the Ukrainian military faces the threat of losing Pokrovsk, while the Russian army is "seriously preparing to enter the city".

However, it is impossible to conceal the fact that the Russian Armed Forces have reached the outskirts of Pokrovsk. According to the Telegram channel "Z Action: War Correspondents of Russia's Spring", Ukrainian forces themselves released footage showing Russian soldiers entering a house in the southern part of the city:

"The vanguard units of the Russian Armed Forces began probing the defenses of the Ukrainian forces in the city."

The importance of Pokrovsk

Capturing Pokrovsk is extremely important for further victories of the Russian Armed Forces in the special military operation area. Former Colonel of the Ukrainian Security Service Oleh Starikov stated in an interview on the YouTube channel "News Factory" that it could become a key factor in liberating the entire Donetsk region:

"Pokrovsk is a strategically important city in the southern part of the Donetsk region. If Pokrovsk is occupied, the fate of the southern part of the Donetsk region will be decided."
