The Russian Armed Forces are cutting logistics near Pokrovsk with mortars and FPV: is there progress in Mirnograd, — ISW

The drone operators of the Armed Forces are also trying to cut off the logistics of the Russians who infiltrated Pokrovsk, according to an analytical report by the Institute for the Study of War published on November 9. At the same time, Ukrainians are hindered by bad weather and saboteurs of the Russian Armed Forces who infiltrated the city. The main forces of the Russian Armed Forces have still not entered Pokrovsk and are 10 km from the outskirts of the settlement.

At the same time, a difficult situation has developed in Myrnograd, as the logistics routes to the city are almost 100% under the fire control of the Russians, the analysts wrote. ISW published information about the current events in Pokrovsk, Mirnograd, Rodinsky, based on the statements of the Ukrainian command, SOU fighters and Russian milbloggers. The situation in settlements is somewhat different.

Pokrovsk The report indicates that the intensity of attacks by the Russian Armed Forces in this settlement has decreased, and the main forces are on the approaches to the city. At the same time, you can hardly hear machine-gun rounds on the streets. The Russians operate mainly in the eastern Dinas microdistrict to cut the logistics routes leading to Rodynskoe. "Ukrainian forces are still holding positions throughout Pokrovsk.

Russian forces are likely to increase the pace of ground activity in Pokrovsk in the coming days as they expand logistics and redeploy personnel into the city," analysts predict. Myrnograd The units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in Mirnograd have almost no logistics from the outside, as the supply routes are under the attack of FPV drones and mines. In addition, the Russians began storming the city and stormed the eastern and northern outskirts on motorcycles.

Enemy units that penetrated the settlement began to build fortifications, for example, they wrapped the positions with barbed wire. There have also been attempts at mechanized assaults, but so far the Russians have not had success similar to the events in Pokrovsk, the report notes.

"Russian forces are likely to continue efforts aimed at reducing the ability of Ukrainian forces to defend Mirnograd by continuing infiltration missions and targeting Ukrainian positions and logistics from indirect angles," ISW wrote. On the map of the institute's military operations, we can see that the main battle zones are the eastern outskirts of Pokrovsk, Myrnograd, and Rodynske.

In the report of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, published on the morning of November 10, it was reported about 97 assaults by the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation in the Pokrovsky direction - this is the largest number than in all other areas. The same number of assaults was on November 7: the command stated that there was no encirclement of the Defense Forces near Pokrovsk and Mirnograd.

It should be noted that on November 7, military expert Ivan Stupak spoke about the situation in Pokrovsk, which, in his opinion, is somewhat worse than the DeepState project analysts show. According to him, units of the Defense Forces must be withdrawn from their positions, and at the same time, the main task is to take out the living and wounded and not leave military equipment to the enemy.
