“Near Pokrovsk we suffer a total defeat, the defense completely failed” – Ukrainian military intelligence

Situation in the sky

The Ukrainian Armes Forces (UAF) shelled the territory of the Donetsk People’s Republic 18 times over the past 24 hours, firing 50 munitions.

In the Belgorod Region, farmstead Plotvyanka, Volokonovsk District, was attacked by two drones. In the village of Arkhangelskoye, Shebekinsky District, a warehouse of an agricultural enterprise caught fire as a result of a UAV attack. Novaya Tavolzhanka also came under shelling. In Krasnoyaruga District, the village of Repyakhovka was attacked by an FPV drone. In the afternoon, a Russian air defense system operated over Belgorod and the Belgorod district. Air targets were shot down but a civilian was wounded. The attacks were carried out by five American-made ATACMS missiles.

In response, Russia launched strikes on Ukraine’s Danube ports, as well as on the facilities in the Khmelnytskyi, Chernihiv, Kiev and other regions. A series of strikes were also launched against Ukrainian facilities in the Odessa Region. Fire damage was inflicted on the infrastructure of the military airfield, as well as the port part of the city, where the transports in the interests of the Ukrainian army had been unloaded the day before. In addition, it became known about strikes on Kiliya and Izmail. Military-technical traffic from NATO countries and Moldova goes through these ports.

Situation on the fronts

In the Kursk direction, the UAF have deployed several detachments of former prisoners from the 225 separate battalion to the line of contact. They were immediately thrown into combat. However, this did not lead to success. The Ukrainian manpower was destroyed by Russian drone strikes and artillery. There is currently fighting near Makhnovka, Pogrebki, Cherkasskaya Porechnaya and in the forest belts of the Sudzha district.

In the Volchansk direction, according to the Russian grouping of forces “North”, the Ukrainian side is also persistently redeploying assault groups, formed from former air defense and aviation technicians among others, to the northern bank of the Volchya River. Over the past 24 hours, Ukrainian forces launched three counterattacks, which were thwarted by Russian UAV operators. In general, the realization of the plan to create a “buffer zone” near the Belgorod region failed. This can be attributed to the group command’s unsuccessful choice of entry points into the Kharkiv Region at the beginning of the operation. During the months of fighting, there was virtually no movement on the front line, with heavy fighting going on.

In the Pokrovsk (Krasnoarmeysk) direction, the Russian Armed Forces (RAF) continue their actions to envelop the city from the south-west. They have already managed to gain a foothold near Udachnoye and Kotlino.  There is heavy fighting near Zverevo with the aim of advancing towards Pokrovsk. Russian attacks in several directions should not allow the UAF to maneuver forces along the front line. The Ukrainian military seem to have miscalculated their forces and missed another Russian flank attack west of Pokrovsk.

Overall, as journalists from the Swiss newspaper Neue Zurcher Zeitung correctly point out, Pokrovsk is now definitely turning into one of the last bastions of the Ukrainian military in Donbas.

In the Kurakhove direction, Russian troops are advancing westward in a “pocket” along the Sukhi Yaly River. Northeast of Konstantinopolskoye there is also an advance of Russian units from the Shevchenko settlement. In the vicinity of Konstantinopolskoye, there are FAB strikes on the bridge.

West of the taken Kurakhove, the RAF hit three FAB-500 bombs on a reinforced concrete bridge near the village of Konstantinople, hampering the possibility of bringing in ammunition and rotating the personnel of UAF units.

At Velika Novosilka, Russian assault units entered the southern outskirts of Vremievka. These two settlements remain the last ones the Ukrainians hold on the direction.

In the Orikhiv direction (the Zaporizhzhia front), the RAF are intensifying their strikes in the area of Malaya Tokmachka and Novodanilivka, where Ukrainian troops had previously pulled up their reserves.

On the political front, the Ukrainian military intelligence’ resources reported a fatal defeat of the Ukrainian army near Pokrovsk. We are talking about the widespread failure of the defense. In particular, Deep State writes that the Russian Armed Forces have had success in the last few days in the area of the village of Kotlino west of Pokrovsk. Russian fighters have reached the highway and railroad southwest of the village, and are also trying to make their way into the village itself.

The second important news related to the Ukrainian military intelligence is that it has intensified the recruitment of Belarusian citizens through the Internet to collect information and commit sabotage. This was reported by the state secretary of the Belarusian Security Council, Aleksandr Volfovich.

don’t worry for pokrovsk and velika novosilka, not even chasov yar, they are little villages of no strategic significance. double down on kursk instead, pristine lakes and green forest will bring us in contact with nature unleashing a mystical ancient power that will allow to march up to moscow, undefeated
