Battles for Pokrovsk: How far Russians have advanced — DeepState report

Russian forces are pushing from southern part of Pokrovsk toward the city center, which is gradually falling under enemy control.

DeepState observers reported this on Friday, November 21.

According to the DeepState team, Russian forces are fortifying positions and entering a full-scale battle for the settlement.

“Operations are underway along the railway area to stop the enemy from seizing the area, but numerous sightings in the northern part of the city suggest the red zone may soon extend to the tracks, especially in the southwestern part of Pokrovsk,” the report on countering the occupiers stated.

DeepState reports a rise in enemy infantry activity around the settlement of Rivne, which was part of an important logistics chain leading to Myrnohrad.

“The enemy is setting up ambushes, constructing various engineering obstacles, and turning routine movement into a gamble. The greater the enemy’s control over Pokrovsk, the more it threatens the defense of Myrnohrad and any future maneuvers, should they become necessary,” the analysts warned.

The review states that Ukrainian units in Myrnohrad continue to hold the line, facing constant pressure from the east, south, and north. Enemy forces have appeared on the southern outskirts of the city, but no firm positions have been established yet.

“The battle for Pokrovsk and Myrnohrad continues…” DeepState concluded.
