Russian troops shelled the settlement of Pokrovske near Nikopol in the morning of Jan. 28, Mykola Lukashuk, the head of Dnipropetrovsk Oblast Council, said.

Lukashuk said that Russian troops had also shelled the settlement of Velykomykhailivka later in the day. There were no casualties, he added,

According to Lukashuk, Russian troops used heavy artillery against both settlements.

“Terrorizing the civilian population is a common method for (Russian) occupiers,” Lukashuk wrote on Telegram.

On Jan. 26, Lukashuk reported that an industrial enterprise was damaged in Dnipropetrovsk Oblast as a result of yet another Russian attack

By infiltrating Ukrainian positions in small infantry groups, Russia has accumulated around 200 troops within Pokrovsk, the General Staff reported. These personnel are engaging in "intense" small arms and drone clashes with Ukrainian troops in the city.

While Ukraine also lacks Western-supplied weapons, soldiers and commanders say shortages of basics — cars, drones and people — make holding back Russia extremely difficult. Even as Kyiv seeks U.S. approval for Tomahawks, they say critical, rudimentary gear is the more pressing need.
