“The situation in Donetsk region remains particularly tense, in particular the Pokrovsky direction – Semenivka, Netaylovye. Over 30 combat clashes take place there every day. It is extremely difficult. Of course, attention is also paid to all other directions of our defensive actions: Kup’yanskyi, Lymanskyi, Siverskyi, Kramatorskyi, Vremivskyi,” – says Volodymyr Zelenskyi.
