The Russians have launched sabotage groups in Pokrovsk, actively using drones, artillery and armored vehicles, according to a post by analysts of the DeepState project. The enemy has found weak points in the defense and is seriously threatening the logistics of the units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, which are holding positions in Myrnograd.
According to analysts, the situation can still be saved if an entire brigade is transferred to the city, since there are not enough special forces under such conditions. Analysts explained exactly how the Russians acted when trying to occupy Pokrovsk. Subversive and reconnaissance groups, which were becoming more and more, infiltrated the city. The enemy made its way through the streets, attacked Ukrainian units operating at a certain distance from the front line.
EW units, drone operators, gunners, mortars, etc. were under threat. As a result, the Russians found a weak point and entered Pokrovsk in the area of Zvirovoy, Shevchenko, along the railway tracks from Kotlyny. "[The enemy] uses the weak defensive arrangements of the SOU in the southern part of the city, understands the numerical superiority of the infantry and the lack of ours.
Also, for some time, help for [the Russians] was lies from some brigade commanders who are holding the defense in the south of Pokrovsk," the analysts emphasized. The advance of the Russians put the logistics in Mirnograd at risk, according to the DeepState post. Reconnaissance drones operate in the sky, monitoring the movements of SOU fighters and sending provisions: then attack UAVs take place.
"Worst of all, the enemy has managed to break the logistics in the direction of Mirnograd and the entire agglomeration of the city. Enemy drones are helping to destroy our logistics in order to make it possible to absorb the city bit by bit," DeepState warned. Analysts also explained what should be done to save Pokrovsky. In their opinion, the situation can be improved by a full-fledged brigade, which will block "the paths of infiltration of the enemy, which are allegedly being held.
" "The situation in Pokrovsk is on the verge of critical and continues to deteriorate to the point that it may be too late to fix everything," they concluded. On the morning of October 29, DeepState updated the battle map and showed changes in Pokrovsk. The map shows the expansion of the gray zone in the western districts of the city and the penetration of Russian units to the north, far beyond the railway station.
Meanwhile, the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine reported on October 29 that 45 assaults by the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation took place in the Pokrovsky direction during the past 24 hours. The Russians attacked Pokrovsk, Mirnograd and 14 other settlements. So far, the command has not commented on the change in the situation in the Pokrovsky direction.
