Ukraine lands special forces in embattled Pokrovsk, sources say

Ukraine landed special forces in embattled parts of the eastern city of Pokrovsk earlier this week just as Russia claimed it had surrounded Kyiv’s forces in the area, two Ukrainian military sources said on Friday.

The special forces landed in a Black Hawk helicopter a few days ago, a source in the 7th Rapid Response Corps said.

The operation was overseen by Ukrainian military spy chief Kyrylo Budanov, the other source said.
