Situation in Pokrovsk on November 27: Why Russian forces stall despite mass attacks

Ukraine’s Defense Forces continue to hold back Russian troops in Pokrovsk, preventing them from advancing further.

The 7th Corps of the Air Assault Forces reported the situation as of November 27.

Clashes are ongoing along the whole railway line. Units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine — including the 425th Separate Assault Regiment «Skelia, ” operating in coordination with other formations in the 7th Corps’ area of responsibility — are conducting raids south of the tracks, setting up ambushes and eliminating enemy personnel.

The situation in central Pokrovsk remains highly tense. Over the past day, Ukrainian assault units have eliminated 21 Russian soldiers.

FPV drone teams are also operating actively, striking enemy personnel and equipment that Russian forces try to hide within the urban area after moving into the city.

The enemy is attempting to advance toward the northern districts of Pokrovsk. Despite heavy losses, Russian troops are trying to mass manpower and set the stage for new offensive moves — even working to establish satellite communication. Ukrainian troops are tracking these efforts and countering them actively.
