Pokrovsk offensive order of battle
On 18 July 2024, Russian forces began an offensive with the goal of capturing the strategically important city of Pokrovsk.[1][2][3] Pokrovsk serves as an important supply route and as a transportation hub for the Ukrainian Armed Forces.[4][5][6][7] Ukrainian soldiers on this part of the front are mostly made of poorly trained conscripts who reportedly had little to no training.[8][9][10] Many Ukrainian conscripts had been reported to have deserted over the course of the offensive.[11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20] The increased level of desertion has resulted in Ukrainian commanders increasing the use of blocking detachments.[21] One Ukrainian commander told CNN that Ukrainian soldiers around Pokrovsk have been given orders to shoot unidentified persons on sight.[22]
