Deepstate_UA says the situation on the Pokrovsk front became critical over the weekend after the Ukrainian brigade holding Prohres retreated. The 47th Mech Brig responded but could not hold the town due to a lack of infantry. 1st and 3rd battalions from 31st Mech Brig are at risk of encirclement.

   says the operational-tactical situation (on the Pokrovsk front) became critical over the weekend after the Ukrainian infantry brigade holding Prohres conducted a chaotic retreat (the post suggests they were not trained properly). The 47th Mechanized Brigade responded but could not hold the town due to a lack of infantry. Now a pocket has been created north of the town and the 1st and 3rd battalions from Ukraine’s 31st Mechanized Brigade are at risk of an encirclement, but they say there is no withdrawal order.

2. This makes me sad. 

3. This sucks.

   I m saying it since the begining. Ukraine will lose if nato doesnt put boots on the ground or close the sky. We are going to fight ukrainian + russian in trench in our country, that is so stupid, when we could have fighted the russians with ukrainians on our side in Ukraine. I am ashamed of our western governement. They are too low for the situation.

4. Zaluzhny asked for 500k.

5. Is this just an issue of the Ukr troops not being ready yet, after the recent mobilisation effort?

6. As putin said they are making slow and incremental gains, to convince Ukraine they have no other way than to negotiate
