Zelensky on Pokrovsk direction: We are waiting for situation to stabilize

President Volodymyr Zelensky said that the situation in the Pokrovsk direction “has improved” over the past few days, but it is necessary to wait for stabilization.

He said this in an interview with Ukrainian media, which was broadcast on the air of the United News telethon, an Ukrinform correspondent reports.

“The situation there [in the Pokrovsk direction] is not easy in any case. I am grateful to soldiers, and before we left [for the meeting of the Ukraine Defense Contact Group held in Germany and the Ambrosetti Forum in Italy] we discussed all these details three times with Syrskyi [Commander-in-chief of the Ukrainian Armed Forces], so I don't want to speak ahead of time. When everything stabilizes there, God willing, then we will talk,” Zelensky said.

As Ukrinform reported earlier, Ukrainian Armed Forces Commander-in-Chief Oleksandr Syrskyi said in an interview that Ukrainian troops had managed to stop the Russian advance in the Pokrovsk direction.
