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.

Carroll added that he was unable to independently verify the authenticity of the video.
