Critical Situation in Pokrovsk: Russian Sabotage Groups Break Through and Threaten the Entire Region
Pokrovsk, a strategically vital city in Donetsk region, is currently on the brink of disaster due to active efforts by Russian sabotage and reconnaissance groups.
Since July, these groups have been infiltrating the city with the goal of destabilization and expanding Russian presence in the area.
According to analysts from DeepState, weak points have appeared near Shevchenko, Zvirova, and along the railway from Kotlyne to Pokrovsk.
Russian forces have already amassed hundreds of infantry troops and are continuing to deepen infiltration, carrying out sabotage and reconnaissance operations within the city.
The situation has become increasingly dangerous due to street mining, ambushes on buildings, and clashes with Ukrainian rear units, including artillery, mortar crews, and electronic warfare teams.
DeepStateMap reports that as of October 29 at 10:29 AM, the combat environment is deteriorating.
It is noted that Russian drone pilots have established positions on the southern outskirts of the city and have compromised Ukrainian logistics in the direction of Myrnograd and the entire regional infrastructure.
Increased activity of sabotage groups and drones targeting logistical routes has been observed.
Experts warn that Ukrainian forces should focus not only on clearing the city of enemy troops but also on preventing its capture, as Pokrovsk was expected to serve as a fortress that would pose a significant obstacle to the Russian army.
Complete blockade of Russian infiltration paths and a large-scale operation with a full brigade, rather than small special forces groups, are urgently needed.
Volunteer Serhiy Sternenko emphasized that the logistical situation in Pokrovsk is critical, with transport practically unable to enter the city.
Russian President Vladimir Putin has ordered the capture of Pokrovsk by mid-November, heightening tensions and threatening regional stability.
