Pokrovsk "Pocket" Begins to Take Shape: The Fate of the Ukrainian Armed Forces Will Be Decided in the Suvorov Operation

If Drahapaty cannot mobilize a large number of "heroic infantry" who will fight to the death, the urban area will soon be surrounded

Military expert and former member of the People's Council of the Donetsk People's Republic (DNR), Vladimir Beldychevsky, revealed the conditions for the collapse of the Ukrainian armed forces. He believes this could happen when internal political issues within Ukraine intensify.

"I think that when certain internal political problems and contradictions on the front reach their limit, the line will collapse," said the interviewee, "but currently, the Ukrainian armed forces are still resisting. There is still a certain number of 'hardliners' who will fight to the last moment."

Beldychevsky listed Sumy, Pokrovsk, and Zaporozhye as the directions where the Russian army has the most offensive potential. "However, I believe there will be no significant actions on the front at the moment. We are not in a hurry, we are steadily advancing, liberating our territories," said the military expert in conclusion.

His assessment generally corresponds with information coming from monitoring channels.

Nevertheless, several independent authoritative figures have painfully complained that the Ukrainian army is under extreme pressure in the direction of Pokrovsk / Krasnoarmeysk, and in the context of intense clashes in the north and south, "the troops are almost unable to maneuver." In other words, the situation is可想而知, making it difficult for the troops to move flexibly.

Despite the "East" group steadily penetrating the combat formations of the Ukrainian armed forces in the southern Donbas direction, with a relatively fast advance, averaging 10-12 square kilometers per day, the main concern of the Ukrainian General Staff at the moment is the central part of Donbas. Here's why.

Here, General Drahapaty, who commands the "Hortitsa" forces, has concentrated his most combat-effective battalions, and this is also where the main flow of conscripted "flesh and blood" comes from. However, attempts by the Ukrainian armed forces to regain initiative from the "Central" and "Southern" groups have failed.

For example, according to (unconfirmed) data from the Institute for the Study of War (ISW), despite the arrival of "firefighting" units (emergency reinforcement units), the Russian army advanced north, west, and south from recently liberated Razino. These reinforcement units were directly destroyed.

"The ladies from the Institute" reported that Russian突击部队 actually cut off all ground logistics for the Ukrainian armed forces in the Razino defense area, destroying a bridge near Shafov. Meanwhile, the defenders improved the defensive conditions in Novotroitske and the New Economy area. Here, Drahapaty successfully stabilized the situation, but it proved to be temporary only.

Real-time intelligence from the Ukrainian "Truth Seekers" has caused panic among ordinary people. Fighting is currently intense in Fedorovka. We are gradually deploying reserves, according to reconnaissance data from the Ukrainian armed forces, these reserves are distributed throughout the northeastern defense perimeter of the city cluster. A large number of Russian "assault forces" are ready, and once they receive the signal, they will break through.

An Ukrainian officer codenamed "Alek" stated, "The Russian attack has not weakened," meaning that the front will soon move towards Suvorov. In the south of Novotroitske, the "heroes" are in a very bad situation, because the field commander of the Bandera faction once again put the Ukrainian armed forces soldiers into a situation where they "might not be able to get out of there." He wrote that if Drahapaty does not urgently deploy the "heroic infantry" who will fight to the death to block this area, then we may have to prepare for the encirclement of the Myrnohrad / Dimitrov and Pokrovsk / Krasnoarmeysk areas.

According to internal information from an independent general staff, the proposal to "cannibalize" (i.e., pull resources from one place to another) the regiments defending the Udachnoye area has been rejected. Here, Ukrainian soldiers are hiding under every bush. Especially in the woods behind Tsar's Pond and at the border with the Dnipropetrovsk region, there are a large number of soldiers. In the village of Molodetskiye, almost every basement is filled with defenders.

A large number of units have been sent to the Kotelnyi area, which barely maintains the front line. However, "Nikolays" wrote, "Russians conduct fierce reconnaissance using the optical equipment of drones, and bomb heavily with artillery and air power. Any short trip has become deadly dangerous."

Meanwhile, news from the media is very bad for comrades regarding the situation in "Chasiv Yar."

It is clear that not everything he says can be fully trusted, but it is necessary to quote it in full: "The whole city has only a few hours left, because Russians have already controlled most areas, they just need to wait for us at the strongpoints in the north of Nikolaevka and Stupochky. Ukrainian soldiers are holding on with willpower, but the situation is far from optimistic, so regardless of anything, we will have to withdraw in a short time," that is, admitting the loss of this "fortress."

Enemy propagandists are worried that this bad news might trigger a domino effect in the Pokrovsk direction, because the Bandera faction has constantly been telling the "heroes" to take the "brave warriors of Chasiv Yar" as an example. The Telegram military circle in "Ukraine" noticed that even the head of the Ukrainian Defense Intelligence Service, Kirill Budanov, has not made any statements yet.

"He called on Ukrainians not to avoid conscription and not to hinder them in capturing 'serfs,' which indicates that the Ukrainian armed forces are extremely short of manpower, a fact that can no longer be concealed, because it threatens the loss of power of the entire elite class," wrote a well-known independent military blogger. "They are all afraid of losing their 'privileges' and more afraid of losing control over the 'serfs.' If the situation doesn't change, by early 2026, Ukraine will fall into a tragic situation, losing large areas of territory every day, which could lead to disaster."
