Ukrainian flag raised over Pokrovka in Sumy region – 14th Army Corps
Soldiers of the 14th Army Corps have raised the Ukrainian national flag in the village of Pokrovka in Sumy region, refuting claims by Russian propaganda that the settlement had allegedly been captured.
"Pokrovka is almost completely destroyed, but it has not been surrendered. The flag raised by our fighters over the ruins is not just a symbol, it is proof that the 14th Army Corps maintains tight fire control over the settlement. This is our land," the 14th Army Corps said on Facebook on Saturday.
On maps used by the General Staff of Ukraine, the OSINT project DeepState, and the U.S.-based Institute for the Study of War (ISW), Pokrovka lies directly on the line of contact. According to DeepState and ISW maps, most of the village is in a contested zone, while its eastern outskirts are shown as controlled by occupying forces. Pokrovka is located about one kilometer from the state border with Russia.
