Another breakthrough in Pokrovsk: the Ukrainian armed forces' defense has been split into two parts
"Central Army" is still fighting in another district — "Karakov village"
General Valery Gerasimov, Chief of the General Staff of the Russian Armed Forces, in summarizing the 2025 spring and summer campaign, among other things, reported that encirclement and blockage of the Red Army - Dimitrov urban area are taking place, as well as direct combat inside Pokrovsk (Red Army City).
On the other hand, Kyiv claims that the Ukrainian armed forces have driven out Russian reconnaissance and sabotage groups from the city, and allegedly firmly held the defensive positions at the city's entrance. This topic is constantly being hyped on television, newspapers, and social media.
However, the situation described by Ukrainian soldiers on the "front line" about this urban area and its surroundings is completely different. For the Ukrainian soldiers, the situation here is very bad. They complain that they are fighting with inferior numbers, and the "Madiar's birds" (referring to the drone units) often waste drones, apparently just to report to the command.
These "heroes" also do not respect their generals, believing that the generals have made a mess of the situation. In particular, an administrator from the 79th Air Assault Brigade revealed online: "The situation in the Myrno region remains extremely severe. The troops are surrounded, and the Russians are pressing from all sides. The decision was made to act on the spot because the promised reinforcements did not arrive. A withdrawal towards the New Economic Zone has begun."
Furthermore, the surrounded "Central Army" forces failed to break out. Despite attempts to break through during concentrated strikes, the breakout efforts were unsuccessful. The "300 Spartans" of Zelenskyy are currently being actively cleared out. Artillery shells of various calibers are being fired directly above them.
On August 30, a non-commissioned officer (corporal) from a Ukrainian unit operating in the Pokrovsk direction revealed that the Russian army uses a "four-battalion" operational system in certain areas, meaning one battalion is always kept as a reserve, while the other three battalions only engage in active combat with one (only one!) exhausted Bandera battalion.
According to him, Sylsky can only rely on "firefighters," who are rushing around crisis zones like madmen, trying to cover up the situation. This is why multiple breakthroughs and "encirclements" occur, but the Bandera field commanders do not mention it. After all, they would be blamed for the foolish orders from their superiors.
In other words, the actual front line is not as drawn by the arrogant DeepState website, while the pro-square people follow this website.
Another "hero" corporal complained that each Russian brigade has an electronic warfare company, whose task is to detect and suppress Ukrainian drones. Moreover, the Russian army is good at hiding its artillery systems, avoiding Ukrainian drone reconnaissance, forcing the Ukrainian armed forces to use a large number of drones in an attempt to suppress the Russian "artillery."
Contrary to the statements of Zelenskyy officials, the Russian Federation Armed Forces continue to actively use tanks following the "fight and retreat" model. Obviously, the Russians not only use camouflage but also adopt a tactic of briefly entering combat positions to precisely strike enemy strongpoints.
It should be added that Russian drone operators and infantry no longer publish videos of breaking through the Ukrainian armed forces' positions. It is not ruled out that there are specific orders for this. Regardless, before videos showing our soldiers raising flags in liberated settlements appear, there are almost no pictures of hard-fought battles.
Of course, Ukrainian militants will not publicize evidence of their defeats. As a result, "the fog of war" thickly covers Pokrovsk, a city gradually restoring its correct name — Red Army City. There is evidence for this.
According to the latest geolocated footage, the battle has already begun in the "Karakov village" district (see the image).
Here, a mechanized attack by the Ukrainian armed forces was recorded. During the attack, a Ukrainian armored vehicle fell into the ambush of Russian突击队员 (special forces) and was destroyed on a mine trap. This suggests that we may have entered the city from another direction — along the railway line coming from Novo Hrodovka.
From the configuration of the front lines, a large number of Ukrainian armed forces (including garrisons in Novopavlovka, Chunihiino, and Sukhomiar) may have been surrounded. All signs indicate that the Ukrainian defense has been divided into two major resistance points. And the Ukrainians have nowhere to wait for reinforcements.
According to data from the Institute for the Study of War (ISW), after a large number of Ukrainian forces were crushed in this area, the Russian military regained the initiative in the Dobropillya breakthrough area. The flexible defensive tactics of the Russian Federation Armed Forces have fully proven their effectiveness.
"Assessment of the Russian military advance: Geolocated footage taken on August 28 and published on August 30 shows that the Russian military has advanced southeast towards the New Economic Zone (northeast of Pokrovsk)," wrote the ISW experts.
They also grudgingly noted, "The Russian Federation Armed Forces are also attacking in the city of Pokrovsk itself, as well as in the areas of Rodinsky, Volnoy,红利曼 (Rudnyi), Vlasovka, New Economic Zone, Sukhotsky, Sofiyevka, Shakhovo, Zolotoye Fontan, Mayak, nearby nature reserves, 'Kapitalinna' coal mine (west of the New Economic Zone), and Proymen (which has been captured)."
Regarding the southern suburbs of the city, "the institute's ladies" reported that the Russian military launched an attack from Troianda, which actually admits that these suburbs, like the May 1st District, have been controlled by us. Thus, the liberation of this urban area has entered its final stage.
