Russian troops have launched a decisive assault on the strategically vital town of Novoekonomicheskoe west of Mirnograd on the Pokrovsk front. After weeks of incremental advances, mechanized units from Russia’s Center group of forces breached Ukrainian defenses, pushing into the settlement amid fierce resistance. Ukrainian forces, battered by drone strikes and artillery, now risk encirclement as Russian troops tighten the noose from multiple directions.
The battle for Novoekonomicheskoe has seen intense fighting as Russian armored columns punched through Ukrainian lines. A mechanized group from Mirolyubovka entered the village under heavy fire, with at least one BMP dismounting troops while another pushed deeper into the settlement. Before the assault, Russian drone operators scored precision strikes, destroying Ukrainian ammunition depot and personnel near the village, further weakening defensive capabilities.
The situation has become increasingly precarious for Ukrainian forces as Russian troops advance from both north and south. From Razdolnoe in the north and Nikolaevka in the south, Russian units threaten to trap remaining Ukrainian defenders east of the Kazennyi Torets River. These advances create a dangerous kill zone where Ukrainian positions come under constant artillery and drone fire. Ukrainian brigades in the area, already depleted from months of fighting, now face potential encirclement with limited options for reinforcement or retreat.
Ukrainian sources now classify Novoekonomicheskoe as a contested “gray zone” where control shifts constantly.

The fall of Novoekonomicheskoe would represent a significant strategic breakthrough, opening a direct path to Mirnograd while bypassing Ukraine’s main defensive lines. Russian forces have already made substantial gains in surrounding areas, clearing villages to the north and pushing Ukrainian troops out of key positions to the east. The ongoing fighting in nearby settlements suggests Russian commanders are executing a broader encirclement strategy rather than a direct assault on urban centers.
FAB heavy bombs pound Ukrainian positions in the area:
The broader Russian strategy appears focused on isolating Ukrainian strongpoints through flanking maneuvers rather than costly frontal assaults. By securing Novoekonomicheskoe and surrounding villages, Russian forces could threaten critical supply lines to Mirnograd, potentially forcing Ukrainian withdrawals from prepared defensive positions. This approach mirrors tactics used successfully in other sectors of the front, where gradual encirclement has proven more effective than direct attacks on fortified urban areas.
Ukrainian commanders face difficult choices as their defensive positions weaken. Reports indicate remaining Ukrainian forces in the area consist of hastily assembled units from various brigades, totaling perhaps 150-200 troops. These forces now find themselves in what military analysts describe as a “fire sack” – a vulnerable position with limited escape routes. Ukrainian military channels have begun downplaying the strategic importance of nearby key city of Pokrovsk, echoing similar rhetoric used before the loss of other key settlements.
