On November 5, the Russian military expanded its control within the city of Pokrovsk and began advancing to completely besiege Ukrainian troops in the nearby city of Myrnohrad and the pocket to the south. Kiev, from its side, continued to act as if everything was under control.
In its daily briefing, the Russian Ministry of Defense said that the Tsentr [Center] Group of Forces, specifically the assault groups of the 2nd and 51st armies, had repelled multiple Ukrainian counterattacks and made additional gains in the eastern and central parts of Pokrovsk.
“24 buildings have been liberated in Gnatovka and Rog. Russian troops thwarted the enemy’s attempt to break through the encirclement ring,” the ministry said.
“During the day, 12 counter-attacks of the enemy were repelled in the northern and north-western directions of Krasnoarmeysk,” it added.
The ministry also reported a new push by the 51st Army of the 5th Motorised Rifle Brigade in Myrnohrad, also known as Dimitrov, saying that the unit “liberated 19 buildings in northern, eastern, and south-eastern parts” of the city, “and moved towards Zapadny neighbourhood.”
“More than 200 troops, three armoured fighting vehicles, and two pickup trucks of the AFU (Armed Forces of Ukraine) have been neutralised in this area over the past 24 hours,” the ministry stated.
The most critical advance reportedly took place between Pokrovsk and Myrnohrad, with the Tsentr Group of Forces storming Rivne right in the middle. Once the settlement is captured, Ukrainian troops in Myrnohrad and the pocket south down to Sukhyi Yar, will be completely besieged.
Currently, at least 85% of Pokrovsk is under Russian control, and that’s according to pro-Ukrainian German Bild journalist Julian Röpcke.
More and more Ukrainian officers and soldiers began to surrender in the city and Myrnohrad in recent days. A video published by Ukrainian journalist Kirienko even shows drone operators from Kiev forces being captured by Russian troops in the eastern part of the city.
With a complete siege on Myrnohrad nearing, a report by Bild revealed that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky is facing criticism from his troops over his decision not to order a withdrawal from there and failing to organize an effective counterattack.
Zelensky, meanwhile, seems completely unbothered by the situation in Pokrovsk and Myrnohrad. He announced on November 4 that he visited troops near the two cities. In reality, he visited a command post somewhere near Dobropillya, more than 20 kilometers to the north of the cities.
It is now clear that the reason why Zelensky is refusing to order a withdrawal from Pokrovsk and nearby areas is because such a move would be an admission of defeat, and he apparently fears that this would weaken Kiev’s stance in front of its backers in the West, especially the United States. Ironically, by insisting on fighting there to the last soldier, he is setting the stage for an even worse defeat, one that could lead to a catastrophic collapse.

i imagine that the western masters fully understand the situation on the ground – perhaps better than zelensky. it’s just that they have to pretend not to know the reality or otherwise their actions would not make sense. it’s a case of being trapped by one’s own lies. much of the west had banked on the ukraine project and the defeat of russia – careers are at stake.

last dying days if the ukri n4z1 fan bois
is fighting in the cities themselves even worthwhile if the cities are encircled? seems a little hasty.
“currently, at least 85% of pokrovsk is under russian control, and that’s according to pro-ukrainian german bild journalist julian röpcke.” – a coward who refused an official offer to visit pokrovsk himself. so what does the coward know?
