Pokrovsk Battles Intensify as Ukraine Repositions Forces and Hits Russian Supply Sites

Kyiv says units shifted to stronger lines near Mirnograd, prioritizing force protection and logistics during Russian strikes on dams and bridges.

Overview

  • Ukraine’s General Staff reported 164 clashes over the previous day and 131 battles by Monday evening, with 36–53 Russian attacks concentrated on the Pokrovsk axis.
  • Ukraine’s 7th Rapid Reaction/Airborne Corps confirmed an organized withdrawal from Lysyivka and Sukhy Yar to more defensible lines to preserve forces and improve logistics amid heavy guided-bomb strikes on Mirnograd.
  • ISW assesses that recent Russian attacks on the Pechenezh dam and other crossings are intended to disrupt Ukrainian ground supply routes, while Ukrainian commanders say alternate routes and prepositioned stocks limit the effect.
  • Ukraine said overnight strikes hit enemy ammunition, UAV and fuel depots in occupied Luhansk and Donetsk and damaged air defense assets, and it confirmed the Temryuk port attack destroyed 20 storage tanks with a large LPG-fire still burning.
  • Regional officials reported civilians killed and injured in Sumy, Kharkiv, Donetsk and Dnipropetrovsk regions, including an apartment block strike in Okhtyrka, as Russia used mass drone and guided-bomb attacks across multiple fronts.
