According to them, military intelligence attack aircraft entered those areas of Pokrovsk that the Russian command declared captured.
It is reported that these areas are strategically important for Ukrainian logistics.
The fact that the Main Intelligence Directorate is conducting a counter-offensive near Pokrovsk in order to restore key logistics lines was written in X by The Economist journalist Oliver Carroll.
“According to Ukrainian military intelligence, a bold counter-offensive is underway in the Pokrovsk area in order to restore key logistics routes,” he noted.
Carroll also posted a video that was sent to him by unnamed sources.
It shows helicopter landings in areas of Pokrovsk that Russia says are under its control.
Carroll added that he was unable to independently verify the authenticity of the video.
New. Hearing Ukraine's military intelligence is conducting a daring counter-offensive near Pokrovsk to reopen key logistics lines. Videos shared with me purport to show a heli drop in areas Russia claims to hold. *Have not been able to verify vids independently. pic.twitter.com/ZGyYfjUD2S
