Today, there are a lot of updates from the Pokrovsk direction.

Here, Russian forces have kept up a consistent but slow advance while Ukrainians are managing a fighting withdrawal against overwhelming odds.

The goal of the Russian forces here is twofold. First of all, Russians are trying to cut off the Ukrainian Kostyantynivka-Pokrovsk highway, splitting Ukrainian forces in two. The second is to take control over the city of Pokrovsk itself. To accomplish this, Russians need to first fully secure their salient by pushing Ukrainians to the Vovcha River. This would remove the threat of Ukrainian counterattacks and secure their logistic routes against Ukrainian drone activity.

Russians have moved a considerable number of brigades to the region to give themselves an overwhelming manpower advantage. This has allowed Russians to keep up a creeping advance, as Ukrainian doctrine continues to value saving soldiers’ lives over holding on to lost positions. As Ukrainians cannot contend with the Russian manpower advantage straight on, Ukrainian forces in the region have adopted several tactics to slow the Russian process significantly.

Firstly, Ukrainians conduct regular counterattacks and raids on Russian positions with armored vehicles and deploy assault groups where Russians are vulnerable. Geolocated footage shows one Ukrainian Bradley driving up and firing on a Russian position to undermine the Russian advance toward the river. Another video shows how two Bradley infantry fighting vehicles fire into a Russian tree line to undermine Russian attacks on one of the settlements. The Footage also shows how, after the Bradleys laid into the Russian trenches with automatic cannons, two Ukrainian assault groups deployed to clear the trenches further and cut off the Russian advancement. The original uncensored footage of Ukrainian assaults with Bradleys can be found on our Telegram channel through the link in the description.

Secondly, Ukrainians mine the approaches to their positions with anti-infantry and anti-tank mines, as shown by this Russian mechanized attack being cut short when the lead vehicle drives over a mine and detonates. Thirdly, Ukrainians target Russian forces with FPV drones and heavy-duty Vampire drones, not only along the contact line but over the entire Russian salient. Ukrainian Vampire hexacopter drones destroy buildings Russians are sheltering in with heavy explosives or by carpet bombing them with individual mortar rounds.

Ukrainian FPV drones fly around and target Russian infantry and shelters, as well as supply trucks and vehicles deeper into the salient, heavily disrupting the Russian ability to launch attacks and sustain prolonged assault operations. The problem of Ukrainian FPVs is so extensive for Russian forces that one Ukrainian drone captured a Russian soldier, choosing to end his own life, as soon as he heard a Ukrainian drone fly over his head, without even attempting to run or otherwise putting up a fight. The original uncensored video of all Ukrainian drone strikes can be found on our Telegram channel as well.

The main defensive line that Ukrainians were making a fighting withdrawal to stood firmly behind the Vovcha River, with fortified positions on the hills overlooking any Russian crossing point. The only weak spot in this Ukrainian defense line was the small settlement of Prohres. One reason for this was the railway line running by the settlement. Defending this railway line is more difficult for Ukrainians, as Russians do not have to make a risky crossing through any open fields and can move through cover toward the Ukrainian positions. Secondly, if we look at the topographic map, we can see that Russians would also be moving over the hill ridges, denying Ukrainians the high-ground advantage.

Russians understood this and launched a massive two-pronged assault on Prohres along the railway line and from Novooleksandrivka from the north. While initially being able to hold the Russians at bay, Ukrainian defenses eventually relented under the intense pressure. Through this, Russians managed to encircle a number of soldiers of the 31st mechanized brigade in a strong fortification meant to provide fire control over the railway line. While senior commanders were slow to act, the junior officers of the battalions took quick action, as they knew that every second counted. With the help of coordinated…

  4. Thanks for such an honest report! In the east they are advancing like a flaming tide. Obviously local tactical control is vital, as you describe itl You have to believe their effort is unsustainable, which it is and be ready for the break when it comes. F16s, like Tauri just hopes/dreams still? Expect democrats to loosen the reins as election gets underway. Ukraine is going to be an election issue and the centre-left wants you to win. You will!!! Slawa.🎉

  7. didnt know ukranians are now using infantry mines. while understandable due to the enemy, arent these weapon prohibited?

  9. While I have been watching this channel for a long time… I am tired of them pushing for their other 'content' on other channels… Down vote for me and banning this channel from ever appearing in my feeds… Im Done and out this this…

  13. Im glad to see that Ukraine is signalling that they are ready for negotiations before they lose to much territory

  14. “Russians Kill Themselves HEARING THIS SOUND.” Please don’t do the clickbait. You’ve got one Russian killing himself because of the approach of a drone. The title implies both more than one (without supporting evidence provided in the video, obviously) and more importantly the clear implication is that there was a new kind of weapon being introduced to the battlefield.

  15. Moscovia delenda est!!!
    🌍❤️🇺🇦 – 🌍🖕🇷🇺👹 – SLAVA UKRAINI!!! 🇳🇴 ❤️ 🇺🇦

  16. I really wish you would include a distance scale (miles, kilometers, bananas, I don't care) that would give us all a better understanding of distances on your maps.

  17. Russian leaders do not care about human life , they see people as a commodity to be used for personal gain .

  24. So what do we get from the video.
    1. Russians are terrorized with drones and get killed massively in their efforts to advance
    2. Somehow, Russians still make advances on multiple sections of front-line and have superiority in manpower, artillery and air
    No strategical analysis in these videos anymore. Just, "look at this Russian execution video, give us money" cartel tactics.

  26. Democratic countries of the world should join and co-operate better. While we may have different interests and some different values, the CORE idea is still the same… the people should choose leadership, be able to affect policies and decisions, and the world should be more open.
    Today we have dictators like Putin, Xi, Un, Assad, who all in a way contribute to pressing down a part of the population, and in case of the bigger countries, ambition to gain influence and then oppress the people when they get it.
    One example… pro-Russian people talk about how great Russia is who CARES for the poor countries and invite them to a new "free" currency system, the BRICK. What is less mentioned is that the same Russia, send Wagner mercenaries to Africa to boost the power of dictators.
