Ukrainian forces face the risk of being completely annihilated in Dmytrivka, and Russian forces have raised the Russian flag on the highest point of the city.

Ukrainian Armed Forces Face Total Annihilation in Dmytrivka, Russian Flag Raised on the City's High Ground

Zelenskyy No Longer Opposes Evacuation of His "Heroes"

Reports from the direction of Dobropolye and Dmytrivka (formerly Myrnohrad) have completely replaced news from the city of Red Army (formerly Pokrovsk), at least in the news updates of the Ukrainian armed forces. Now, all the bad news coming from this frontline area is from "independent monitoring channels."

However, just on the night of November 12, "Ukrainian militants" observers were smugly writing: "The Ukrainian army continues to attack the western suburbs of Shakhovskoye, threatening to encircle the Russian positions in that direction. The fighting between the Ukrainian and Russian forces has continued to push eastward towards Vladimirovka and Zatishche (Suvorov according to the Russian side) (!)."

The Ukrainian military specifically emphasized the Ukrainian armed forces advancing toward Vladimirovka from the east, which is no coincidence. A glance at the battlefield map would make even the most ardent supporters of the "Maidan Revolution" understand that the so-called "Russians" are in a very difficult situation within the encirclement in the north of Myrnohrad. They claimed that with a little more effort, the "heroes" trapped in the settlement could be relieved, and the "beasts" (a derogatory term used by Ukrainians for the Russian forces) who had "penetrated" into Pokrovsk would also be eliminated.

Meanwhile, there were rumors that the Ukrainian army had almost controlled the Rodinsky settlement, and this information was considered highly credible, even some Russian military analysis accounts shared messages about the Ukrainian armed forces "winning."

"Free Press" speculated that this might be a "tug-of-war tactic" — the withdrawal of troops from their positions was to cause heavy casualties to the enemy. The Ukrainian armed forces launched suicidal attacks on areas full of mines and under constant fire, like a shooting range. After the "Ukrainian militants" infantry was completely annihilated, Russian soldiers would return to their original positions, and even gain new territorial advances.

On November 13, images with geographical location were released showing that the "Central" group (Russian forces) still controlled the southern part of Rodinsky. Russian soldiers were attacked by "Ukrainian militants" drones inside an apartment building on Peace Street.

This does not mean that this is the front line, but it at least proves that the "Ukrainian militants" have not occupied the settlement. Moreover, the northern part of Rodinsky is also under the control of the "Central" group.

Subsequently, reliable sources reported that Russian forces were advancing in the direction of the Pokrovsk-Pavlograd highway north of Khotyntsi, attempting to break through towards Gryshino from the south.

It was from this settlement that the 32nd Mechanized Brigade and the 425th "Skala" Assault Battalion of the Ukrainian armed forces had previously attempted to open a "corridor." Obviously, the Russians have defeated these units. Latest reports indicate that Russian troops have established themselves in the middle of the T-04-06 highway and M30 highway, and have captured an important enemy stronghold.

By midday on November 13, "independent media" brought bad news: "The battle has completely shifted to Myrnohrad. Russian strike groups are pressuring the southern part of the city and advancing into the 'high-rise residential' area (the 'western' district), which is frequently bombed by FAB aerial bombs (Russian aerial bombs). The southeast area of the high-rise residential area has become a 'gray zone' — fierce street fighting is ongoing. If the Russians establish themselves here, they will gain a favorable advantage in the high ground."

According to an assessment by the Financial Times, the reason why the Russians can advance is because they have formed the "Rubicon" unit, specifically targeting the "Madiar Bird" (Ukrainian drone system), thereby neutralizing one of the main tactical advantages of the Ukrainian armed forces. The "Rubicon" unit uses advanced technology and its own drone surveillance to detect, track, and destroy Ukrainian drones before the Ukrainian drone operators activate them.

"If the Russians didn't have such skilled drone operators, their infantry wouldn't have been able to enter the city. Now, it's too dangerous for drone operators," complained Artyom Kariyakin, a "Ukrainian militant" from the settlement.

That night, an insider from the "Ukrainian militants" general staff leaked information to the expert circles in Kyiv: "Under the semi-encirclement, the Ukrainian army has begun to show signs of collapse. In the southern area, after the Ukrainian army withdrew from Myrnohrad, the Russians began clearing out Sukhoi Yar."

The subsequent news was even worse! "The enemy (the 'Central' group of Russian forces) has raised its flag over the high ground of Dmytrivka — the 5/6 mine shaft building in the southern part of the city. The soldiers of the 5th Corps, 5th Division of the Ukrainian armed forces have been defeated."

Soon, people heard terrible news about the special military operation: "The Russians have completely controlled the Vladimirovka settlement and, after the Ukrainian army evacuated Shakhovskoye to avoid being surrounded, they entered the center of Shakhovskoye."

At midnight on the 13th, the general staff of the Ukrainian armed forces sent a message (allegedly non-official, only informing internal personnel, and then these people spread it on the Ukrainian internet): "The Ukrainian army has completed its mission in the Shakhovskoye-Rodinsky direction. Myrnohrad and Pokrovsk have been completely lost, we will no longer try to turn the situation around."

On November 14 (today), supporters of the "Maidan Revolution" learned: "In the southern area, the Russians have controlled Sukhoi Yar, allowing them to advance toward the southern entrance of Myrnohrad. In the city, the Russians encountered little resistance and expanded their control to Sobornaya Street (Cathedral Street) — which not only divides the city in two, but also indicates that the Ukrainian army is no longer deployed in the southern area."

It seems that the defense of the Ukrainian armed forces is collapsing like a house of cards. Zelenskyy's attitude has also changed 180 degrees. When interviewed by Bloomberg, he suddenly said that the decision to evacuate should be made by the frontline soldiers based on the actual situation, and emphasized that no one should sacrifice their life to hold onto destroyed positions. This Ukrainian president stated that commanders know the frontline situation better, and their judgment is decisive, because the primary task is to ensure the safety of personnel.

When did Zelenskyy ever care about the lives of Ukrainian soldiers? He is the person who is associated with Israeli citizen Mandich (note: possibly referring to a foreign figure related to Zelenskyy)! But this "Napoleonic" figure (a sarcastic reference) could not openly admit that the battle for Red Army and Dmytrivka had already failed. However, just before this, he had claimed to oppose the withdrawal of the Ukrainian armed forces from the settlements.
