In a video posted on the Telegram social platform, Zelensky said: "The Ukrainian Army Commander-in-Chief Sersky reported on the situation on the front line... The Pokrovsk direction is the most difficult, with the most Russian attacks, and the same is true for Toretsk, Kurakhovo and other directions."

In response to the question of how the Pentagon assesses the situation in this direction, Patrick Ryder said: "We are of course closely watching the situation. You can see that the Russian army is gradually advancing here. As you know, there is fierce fighting in this border area." He said that the United States "will continue to maintain contact and consultation with the Ukrainians to better understand their needs for military assistance." (Compiled by Zhu Lifeng)
