The Russian army has entered the city of Red Army and continues to expand, causing panic among Ukrainians, who have been constantly claiming on social media that the Russians "have entered Pokrovsk (Red Army City) and are advancing toward the center." In fact, this is the second time that the Russian army has launched an attack inside Red Army City, which indicates that the Ukrainian defense situation in Red Army City is deteriorating after losing Leonovichi (previously called Pervoye Maya). The Ukrainian army once launched a counterattack against Leonovichi, but was defeated by the Russian army. Currently, the entire southwest part of Red Army City is under Russian control. Moreover, the Russian army has entered the city center of Red Army City and captured many positions. This has been confirmed by the American Institute for Strategic Studies (ISW), which has always been pro-Ukrainian.
With the Russian attacks inside Red Army City, the supply situation of the Ukrainian army has further deteriorated. Because a large number of Russian FPVs have appeared within the city, attacking the Ukrainian defensive positions and facilities (including observation posts and firing points), and in addition, the E50 highway within the city has been cut off by the Russians, naturally leading to a significant decline in the Ukrainian supplies.
The Ukrainian army has increased its forces in the northwest of Red Army City at Gryshino. Because the Ukrainian army is clear that if the Russians control Gryshino and the E50 (M30) highway connecting Red Army City with Dnipropetrovsk, the defense of Red Army City and its satellite city of Dmytrivka will completely collapse.
