Ukraine launched air assault with Special forces operators to save Pokrovsk.
There are rumors like this:
Two helicopters. One carried about 10 special operations soldiers, the other was empty. This was obviously a special operation, the purpose of which was to evacuate someone very important from the encirclement, probably NATO military "observers".
Surrender of all Ukraine military personnel in one go would be completely unexpected and feeding them would break Russian economy as was planned by Obama but fighting to the last Ukrainian as planned by Boris Jonson and NATO strategists staffed up Obama's hopes
