US EditionPokrovsk Is In Danger Of Falling To Russia. Ukrainian Soldiers Are Fuming.
Russian troops have entrenched in eastern Pokrovsk with 200-400 soldiers, straining Ukrainian defenses and threatening key supply routes, analysts warn the situation is critical.
- On October 30, General Oleksandr Syrskiy traveled to the Pokrovsk area, where Ukrainian soldiers estimate 200 to 400 Russian troops lodged in eastern districts amid fierce street fighting.
- Pokrovsk sits astride two major highways and is also a rail hub, making it a linchpin of Ukraine's defense on the front line as Russian forces seized roads and pressured defenses earlier this month.
- Russian raiders often disguise as civilians and use motorcycles and ATVs to evade Ukrainian drones and bunkers, despite suffering high casualties from artillery and strike drones.
- Myrnohrad, just east of Pokrovsk, holds units that block a creeping encirclement, but if it falls the T0504 highway supply route is at risk and capture would open the road to Dnipropetrovsk.
- An unnamed brigade commander told Ukrayinska Pravda `I have repeatedly raised the issue of regrouping and the absence of a second line of defense, which will lead to our units being encircled, but they don't listen to us`, highlighting concerns about deteriorating defenses.
