🧵 Frontline Sentinel – Pokrovsk, Donetsk Oblast (03/11/2025)
🇷🇺 Russian offensive
By the end of October, the situation on the Pokrovsk axis had reached a critical state. There is significant infiltration of Russian forces into the southern and western parts of the city with the aim of consolidating positions and degrading the defending side’s organization. Increased pressure on logistics along this axis has also been observed. The UAF are doing everything possible to prevent the encirclement from fully closing, and the defending side is under very heavy pressure.
📍 Territorial changes
From 26 October to 2 November, RuAF pressure was observed on the settlements of Nikanorivka, Mayak, Myrnohrad, Krasnyi Lyman, Rodynske, Razino, Mykolaivka, Novoeconomichne, Pokrovsk, Lysivka, Zverove, Kotlyne, Udachne, Molodetske, Novomykolaivka, Orikhove, Dachne, and Filiial. The most active Russian advances were achieved in the southwest of Pokrovsk, east of Myrnohrad, and from the direction of Krasnyi Lyman. Movement is also observed toward Volodymyrivka. The total area of RuAF advance is estimated at 23.85 km². The UAF also managed to almost completely clear the breach that formed in August, thereby liberating 8.75 km².
📚 Open-source information
Russian sources
Russian officials and milbloggers describe events near Pokrovsk as a major success of Russia’s offensive. Their reports emphasize the “collapse of UAF defenses” and the near-complete encirclement of the Ukrainian garrison in Pokrovsk. For example, the “Two Majors” Telegram channel stated on 2 November that months of heavy fighting had exhausted Ukrainian units, which were left practically cut off from supply. According to them, a tight operational “cauldron” has been created in the city, and all Ukrainian logistics routes are under Russian fire control. In its 1 November briefing, the Russian Ministry of Defense confirmed that Pokrovsk is partially encircled: according to the ministry, assault detachments of the 2nd Army are clearing encircled UAF formations in the area of the Pokrovsk railway station. In addition, the Russian command reported the completion of clearing the villages of Hnativka and Roh of Ukrainian troops. Attempts by the Ukrainian side to deblock the city were, according to Russia, thwarted: the MoD said that between 31 October and 1 November, seven attempts to break out of the encirclement were repelled in the northern and northwestern directions, including an assault by a UAF 425th Regiment group from the direction of Hryshyne. Thus, Russian sources claim that all UAF counterattacks failed and the ring around Pokrovsk is steadily tightening.
Russian reports also single out the defeat of a Ukrainian helicopter-borne landing near the city. The Russian MoD and media under its control (the Zvezda TV channel) said Russian troops detected and destroyed a group of 11 Ukrainian HUR special operators who had landed by Black Hawk helicopter roughly a kilometer from the northwestern outskirts of Pokrovsk.
🇺🇦Ukrainian sources
Ukrainian official and independent sources confirm the critical nature of the situation near Pokrovsk but present it in a different context. The country’s leadership acknowledges that the situation is extremely difficult but under control. On 1 November, the Commander of Ukraine’s Ground Forces, General Oleksandr Syrskyi, assured: “We are holding Pokrovsk. A comprehensive operation is under way to destroy and expel the enemy from the city.” He stressed that neither Pokrovsk nor neighboring Myrnohrad is encircled, that links with the rest of the territory are maintained, and that all measures are being taken to sustain logistics. Syrskyi refuted Moscow’s claims about the full encirclement of the city, calling the situation dynamic but far from capitulation. In his daily addresses, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy paid special attention to the Pokrovsk axis. On 2 November he noted that on this sector “we are achieving results in destroying the occupier,” thanking the units heroically defending the city and its outskirts.

On 2 November he noted that on this sector “we are achieving results in destroying the occupier,” thanking the units heroically defending the city and its outskirts.
Among those he named were the Military Law and Order Service special forces, SBU and HUR teams, the 79th Air Assault Brigade, the 55th Artillery Brigade, and the 1st Separate Assault Regiment. This list indicates that a diverse mix of forces, including elite units, has been brought in to defend Pokrovsk. According to Zelenskyy, the enemy is taking heavy losses from the coordinated actions of Ukrainian defenders. Ukrainian journalists note that street fighting is extremely fierce, but the enemy’s plans to envelop the city have not yet been realized. For example, an Espreso (War Live Map) analysis indicates that while about 30% of Pokrovsk was under enemy control as of 31 October and around 40% was a contested “gray zone,” it is premature to speak of full encirclement, the Ukrainian “fortress” in the city continues to resist, preparing for prolonged fights block by block.
Finally, the Ukrainian side categorically refutes a number of enemy claims. In particular, regarding the special-forces landing: Ukrainian military sources (unofficially) told Reuters that the information about the entire HUR group being destroyed is not true, the operation continues, and the special operators are carrying out their tasks in the city. Ukrainian officials likewise do not confirm rumors of mass surrenders; on the contrary, they point to the high morale of the defenders fighting for Pokrovsk. President Zelenskyy publicly supports the garrison, calling Pokrovsk a key stronghold and assuring that the city will not be surrendered to the enemy.
🎯 Strategic value
The fall of Pokrovsk (and neighboring Myrnohrad) would be Russia’s largest territorial success since early 2024. Reuters noted that taking Pokrovsk would be the most significant gain since the fall of Avdiivka in early 2024. This would not only have symbolic importance but would also effectively open the road to the major Donbas cities still under Ukrainian control. Capturing Pokrovsk and pushing further north would create a springboard to bypass the so-called “fortification belt” of Ukraine’s defenses, a series of fortified cities including Kostiantynivka, Kramatorsk, and Sloviansk. Russian forces would gain the ability to threaten these strategic centers from the southwest, which had not previously been the case. In addition, the front would move closer to the administrative border of Dnipropetrovsk Oblast. Experts note that beyond Pokrovsk lie relatively open areas with few large settlements capable of delaying an advancing force. In other words, the loss of Pokrovsk could trigger a chain reaction and force the Ukrainian army to withdraw to new defensive lines much farther west. A subsequent reorganization of units after the loss of Pokrovsk could place nearby Kostiantynivka under significant threat, as attention of the grouping engaged on the Pokrovsk axis would shift there after Pokrovsk’s fall.

🧵 Frontline Sentinel – Stepnohirsk/Prymors’ke, Zaporizhzhia Oblast 08/11/2025
🇷🇺 Russian offensive: As of the 5th of November, Russian forces expanded offensive operations against the town of Prymors’ke, advancing from the direction of Plavni and western Stepnohirsk gaining 20км2 of Ukrainian territory. Ukrainian forces are largely defending against Russian advances utilizing drones to a high-capacity targeting logistics and Russian supply hubs as far as Vasylivka.
📍 Territorial changes: Ukrainian mapping project, expanded the grey zone in the direction of Stepnohirsk and Prymors’ke by a total of 40км2 acknowledging Russian advances within the region. Deepstate map also highlighted the Ukrainian liberation of the 3rd micro district positioned south of Stepnohirsk, Zaporizhzhia Oblast, but this is possibly outdated information due to conflicting geolocated evidence presented by Russian forces unintentionally as of recently.
📚 Open-source information: Sources aligned with Ukrainian mapping project Deepstate map confirmed Russian advances from Plavni in the direction of Prymors’ke.
Russian forces report that Ukrainian UAV numbers have increased, which severely complicates their advancements in the area. According to some of their estimates, we're talking of about 120 crews, with some belonging to the National Guard and GUR. They provide recon, strikes on Russian forward groups and logistics control. GUR operators specifically have "RAM-2X" drones, and other UAV battalions have "Rubak" and "Shark" recon drones. As reported some time ago, these drones are being used in masse at distances of over 60km, easily reaching Vasylivka, primary Russian supply hub in the area.
🎯 Strategic value: Russian forces are continuing to expand their area of operational control in the southern Zaporizhzhia oblast advancing in a northern direction along the left bank of the Dnieper River towards Zaporizhzhia city and other local settlements such as Prymors’ke and Malokaterynivka. These advances allow Russia to expand their western flank around the stronghold city of Orikhiv whilst they carry out similar advances in the eastern direction of the Zaporizhzhia Oblast. In addition to flank expansion the advances from the left bank of the Dnieper River also add pressure to Zaporizhzhia city itself as the frontline gradually grows closer to the city.

🧵Frontline Sentinel – Yampil, Donetsk Oblast, 21/11/2025
🇷🇺Russian offensive: Russian forces have captured the village of Yampil in the Lyman direction of the Donetsk Oblast following Ukrainian withdrawal from the vicinity of the area of operations. Located to the west of Yampil Russian forces have also crossed the T0513 highway advancing in the direction of Dibrova, expanding their western flank around the city of Lyman.
📍Territorial changes: New territorial gains have been recorded via neutral mapping project Suriyak map and confirmed geolocated footage of Russian forces operating within the southern outskirts of Yampil village raising the Russian flags over local houses.
📚Open-source information: Member of Ukrainian 8th SOF regiment stated that organized units within the proximity of Yampil village would have to withdraw in coming days due to increased Russian offensive assaults in the region. Russian telegram channel “Creamy whim” confirmed Russian positions within southern Yampil via a series of drone footage that had been geolocated to the following coordinates 48.944286,37.977763, Yampil, Donetsk Oblast.
🎯Strategic value: Russian control over Yampil enables them to consolidate their positions in proximity to the key city of Lyman, providing a strengthened staging area for future offensive operations toward the Siverskyi Donets River. Securing and expanding the western flank is particularly critical, as it positions Russian forces to threaten and potentially cut off Sloviansk, a major logistical hub supporting the defence of Lyman. Additionally, continued advances from Yampil would allow Russia to increase its control over the right/left bank sectors of the Siverskyi Donets River, further shaping the operational environment and enhancing their ability to isolate Ukrainian defensive groups across the broader Lyman axis.

🧵Frontline Sentinel – Myrnohrad, Donetsk Oblast, 28/11/2025
🇷🇺Russian offensive: Russian forces continue to expand their zone of operational control inside and around the encircled Ukrainian defended city of Myrnohrad, Donetsk Oblast. From the 25th to 28th of November, Russian forces moved in two directions inside of the city from both east and west, taking control of the settlement of Rivne and moving to capture the nearby district of Svitle (West) and taking control of the residential high-rise district in the east near to Nova Poshta 85327. Geolocated footage has also shown the reality on the ground of the encirclement by showcasing Ukrainian bottlenecks of logistics and drone strikes on Ukrainian vehicles operating in the vicinity. Wrecks of vehicles stretch as far as the eye can see along the side of dirt roads leading in and out of Myrnohrad and Pokrovsk.
📍Territorial changes: Both neutral and pro Ukrainian mapping projects have acknowledged a full encirclement of Myrnohrad either via Russian controlled territory or massive expansion of the grey zone in the region. Deepstate has acknowledged that Ukrainian forces have lost defensive positions north of Pokrovs'k and North of Myrnohrad, acknowledging the loss of positions and virtual encirclement by Russian forces, however some of these positions are included in the grey zone.
📚Open-source information: The Russian Defence Ministry said units from Russia's 2nd Army were advancing in central and northern Pokrovs'k and that its forces had advanced to the east, west and south of Myrnohrad further strengthening their full ground encirclement of the city.
A Ukrainian soldier from the 25th Separate Airborne Brigade spoke with us personally about the encirclement and his job as a First Person View (FPV) Drone operator, he stated that the encirclement of Ukrainian forces is in place, but some Ukrainian soldiers are able to escape it if they’re lucky, but the presence of Russian forces is constantly shifting within the area of operations. He further claimed that he could not estimate a number of Ukrainian forces that are trapped within the city of Myrnohrad, but he would say that 1000+ personnel remain due to the nature of fighting, which is ongoing within the city.
🎯Strategic value: The full operational encirclement of Myrnohrad has enabled Russian forces to gradually strangle the remaining Ukrainian defenders inside the city, severely limiting their access to ammunition, medical evacuation, and basic supplies. With all major approach routes either under Russian control or direct fire coverage, Ukrainian units inside Myrnohrad are increasingly dependent on small, high-risk infiltration routes that are routinely monitored by Russian FPV drones and reconnaissance assets. This pressure is designed to degrade Ukrainian combat effectiveness over time and force a collapse from within the city. Simultaneously, Russian forces are expanding their operational buffer by targeting northern settlements and tightening their hold over Rodnyske and Hryshne, two areas that provide key terrain for any Ukrainian counterattack aimed at relieving pressure on Pokrovs'k. By increasing territorial control in this northern belt, Russia is not only preventing Ukrainian forces from mounting an effort to break the encirclement, but also consolidating a more defensible perimeter around Pokrovs'k and the wider Myrnohrad pocket.
🇷🇺Russian offensive: Russian forces continue to expand their zone of operational control inside and around the encircled Ukrainian defended city of Myrnohrad, Donetsk Oblast. From the 25th to 28th of November, Russian forces moved in two directions inside of the city from both east and west, taking control of the settlement of Rivne and moving to capture the nearby district of Svitle (West) and taking control of the residential high-rise district in the east near to Nova Poshta 85327. Geolocated footage has also shown the reality on the ground of the encirclement by showcasing Ukrainian bottlenecks of logistics and drone strikes on Ukrainian vehicles operating in the vicinity. Wrecks of vehicles stretch as far as the eye can see along the side of dirt roads leading in and out of Myrnohrad and Pokrovsk.
📍Territorial changes: Both neutral and pro Ukrainian mapping projects have acknowledged a full encirclement of Myrnohrad either via Russian controlled territory or massive expansion of the grey zone in the region. Deepstate has acknowledged that Ukrainian forces have lost defensive positions north of Pokrovs'k and North of Myrnohrad, acknowledging the loss of positions and virtual encirclement by Russian forces, however some of these positions are included in the grey zone.
📚Open-source information: The Russian Defence Ministry said units from Russia's 2nd Army were advancing in central and northern Pokrovs'k and that its forces had advanced to the east, west and south of Myrnohrad further strengthening their full ground encirclement of the city.
A Ukrainian soldier from the 25th Separate Airborne Brigade spoke with us personally about the encirclement and his job as a First Person View (FPV) Drone operator, he stated that the encirclement of Ukrainian forces is in place, but some Ukrainian soldiers are able to escape it if they’re lucky, but the presence of Russian forces is constantly shifting within the area of operations. He further claimed that he could not estimate a number of Ukrainian forces that are trapped within the city of Myrnohrad, but he would say that 1000+ personnel remain due to the nature of fighting, which is ongoing within the city.
🎯Strategic value: The full operational encirclement of Myrnohrad has enabled Russian forces to gradually strangle the remaining Ukrainian defenders inside the city, severely limiting their access to ammunition, medical evacuation, and basic supplies. With all major approach routes either under Russian control or direct fire coverage, Ukrainian units inside Myrnohrad are increasingly dependent on small, high-risk infiltration routes that are routinely monitored by Russian FPV drones and reconnaissance assets. This pressure is designed to degrade Ukrainian combat effectiveness over time and force a collapse from within the city. Simultaneously, Russian forces are expanding their operational buffer by targeting northern settlements and tightening their hold over Rodnyske and Hryshne, two areas that provide key terrain for any Ukrainian counterattack aimed at relieving pressure on Pokrovs'k. By increasing territorial control in this northern belt, Russia is not only preventing Ukrainian forces from mounting an effort to break the encirclement, but also consolidating a more defensible perimeter around Pokrovs'k and the wider Myrnohrad pocket.

🧵 Frontline Sentinel – Sivers’k, Donetsk Oblast 05/12/2025
🇷🇺 Russian advances: Over the last 48 hours Russian forces have ramped up offensive operations inside the town of Sivers’k, Donetsk Oblast taking control over the town centre and railway station and pushing Ukrainian forces further west across the Bakhmutovka River.
📍Mapped Territorial Changes: Pro Ukrainian Mapping project Deep-state map has acknowledged the new territorial changes within the town centre and railway network expanding the grey zone, but not actually confirming that Russian forces take control over it. Neutral mapping project Suriyak Map has confirmed new russian positions further west of the railway station as well as Ukrainian withdrawal across the Bakhmutovka River.
📚Open-Source Information: Ukrainian Commander Stanislav Osman shortly reported via his telegram about Sivers’k, stating:
“The situation within Sivers’k is very sad”
This short quote and its timing highlights issues caused by fast Russian advances and control over the town centre and also reflects upon Ukrainian withdrawal within the proximity.
🎯Strategic Value: The capture of Sivers’k carries significant strategic implications for the wider Donetsk–Luhansk axis. Sivers’k acts as a gateway toward Lyman and the surrounding approaches to the Siversky-Donets River, a key natural barrier in eastern Ukraine. Russian consolidation in this area would not only provide improved logistical and fire-control advantages along the riverline but also open a more direct route for further advances toward the fortress cities of Slovyansk and Kramatorsk, Ukraine’s most fortified and symbolically important strongholds in the Donbas. As a result, the battle for Sivers’k carries operational weight well beyond the town itself, shaping the tempo and direction of future operations across the entire northern Donetsk front.

🧵 Frontline Sentinel – Kupyansk, Kharkiv Oblast 12/12/2025
🇺🇦 Ukrainian advances: Ukrainian forces have carried out several offensive attacks in the Kupyansk direction achieving major success in making breakthroughs into the city central region. Ukrainian forces were able to advance from Moskovka and entirely cut off Russian forces in the northwestern districts of Kupyansk by reaching the right bank of the Oskil River.
📍Mapped Territorial Changes:both pro Ukrainian and neutral mapping projects (Deepstate map and Suriyak Map) have confirmed the new territorial changes following verified drone footage showing Ukrainian forces moving through the city and near to the Oskil river bank.
📚Open-Source Information: geolocated footage released by Russian sources shows Ukrainian forces being targeted by drones in the north western sections of the city near the Oskil river acknowledging Ukrainian counter offensive actions. Locations were also geolocated to Kindrashivka and Radkivka.
🎯Strategic Value: The newly established Ukrainian positions within Kupyansk have placed significant operational pressure on Russian forces by effectively isolating their units concentrated in the city’s central sector. By advancing and securing portions of the right bank of the Oskil River, Ukrainian forces have severed a key logistical corridor previously used by Russian troops for resupply, reinforcement, and troop rotation. This disruption has not only constrained Russian sustainment capabilities but has also undermined their ability to mount a coordinated defense within the city central regions.

🧵 Frontline Sentinel – Krasnopillya, Sumy Oblast 01/01/2026
🇷🇺Russian advances: Russian forces have continued operations along the newly opened Krasnopillya frontline attacking a Ukrainian stronghold near Hrabovs’ke. Russian forces continue to advance deeper within the Sumy region via assaulting Ukrainian positions along the nearby railway network. These assaults consist of FPV drone, artillery and infantry strikes.
📍Mapped Territorial Changes: both Ukrainian and neutral mapping projects (Deepstate Map and Suriyak Map) have acknowledged Russian offensive operations within the region, geolocated footage released by Russian forces showcasing Russian assaults within the region also confirm ongoing hostilities.
📚Open-Source Information: geolocated footage released by Russian sources shows Ukrainian forces being targeted by drones and infantry in a trench position along the Krasnopillya railway tracks. Snowfall in the video also confirms that the video was recently recorded likely in the last 32 hours (possibly sooner).
🎯Strategic Value: Russian forces are looking to mount more pressure on the Ukrainian Armed Forces by expanding their buffer zone along the international border of Ukraine and the Russian Federation. This expands Russian presence within the Sumy region forcing Ukraine to commit more reserves to these regions thereby reducing available combat power for the Donbas, where Russia’s primary offensive focus remains.

🧵 Frontline Sentinel – Kup’yans’k, Kharkiv Oblast 11/01/2026
🇷🇺Russian advances: In response to Ukrainian counter offensive actions within the city of Kup’yans’k, Kharkiv Oblast, Russian forces launched a large motorised assault, advancing 11km deep behind Ukrainian lines from the locality of Pishchane successfully entering the territory of Kupyansk-Vuzlovyi and Podoly threatening to cut off Ukrainian forces positioned in the eastern industrial sector of Kup’yans’k as well as outter eastern settlements.
📍Mapped Territorial Changes: Suriyak Map has acknowledged Russian offensive operations within the region, geolocated footage released by Russian forces showcasing Russian assaults within the region also confirm ongoing hostilities within the city of Kup’yans’k-Vuzlovyi.
📚Open-Source Information: geolocated footage released by Russian sources show a Russian flag flying from the a house geolocated to be positioned within the settlement of Podoly.
🎯Strategic Value: Russian forces are seeking to encircle Ukrainian positions in the eastern sectors of Kup’yans’k, applying sustained pressure that has significantly slowed Ukrainian offensive operations within the city. The successful Russian motorized assault into Kup’yans’k-Vuzlovyi has further exacerbated the situation by severing the only remaining operational supply line into eastern Kup’yans’k, critically degrading Ukrainian sustainment and freedom of maneuver in the sector.

🇷🇺🇺🇦 Russian incursions into Ukraine in the last month
Locations of Russian crossings over the international recognised border of the Russian Federation and Ukraine since the beginning of the year mapped.
These actions are aimed at drawing limited Ukrainian manpower and equipment away from more important sectors of the frontline, further stretching Ukraine's ability to put up resistance, and therefore accelerating the rate of attrition. The incursions are focused within the Sumy and Kharkiv Oblasts situated in Northern Ukraine.
