"A military-political decision has been made to hold the
Pokrovsko-Myronhradska conglomeration for as long as possible. All available reserves will be mobilized for this purpose."

"From a military standpoint, holding these positions is important because they open up an almost flat territory deep into the Dnipropetrovsk region. You can see this on the elevation map. If the enemy takes Pokrovsk, they will also gain the ability to operate UAVs from its heights."

“There is a request. Our guys who remain on the positions communicate with their loved ones and, when they can, read the news and social networks.
Therefore, please do not escalate the situation. It is morally difficult for a soldier to fight when they hear "all is lost," "everyone is surrounded," and areas where you confidently hold the defense are marked as gray
zones on maps.”



You could say Zelensky is really being forced into this ‘do or die’ stance because the west is failing to live up to their promises and, as said in yesterday's post, the Ukraine army is running out of everything they need to hold the line anyway.

But now US press is giving Zelensky the advice to give it up, the NYT, WSJ and the WP were all telling Zelensky that after all the failed attempts, 45 to break in and 32 to break out, it’s time to think of just saving the lives of the entrapped Ukrainian troops.

Now that doesn’t sound at all like the US, unless the Trump admin has switched sides again and gone back to believing Putin over Zelensky. Note Viktor Orban is back in Washington.
Normally from the US press it would be all ‘to the last Ukrainian’ bullshit. That all 3 of the big US newspapers are now telling Zelensky to let it go would indicate they were messaged by the Trump team.

Of course they give all the old tropes such as ‘Pokrovsk wasn’t really all that important anyway’, yeah sure, if Ukraine was using it as a major transport hub then the Russians will too. And that, of course the Russians are dying in their millions for every few yards gained, same old stuff.

The Russian army are reporting that the Ukrainian army has pulled out of Pokrovsk and are now centred in Myrnohrad just to the east while the Russian army has continued to close up the lid of the cauldron with manpower (to take prisoners) as well as drones. The Ukrainians are throwing themselves at the cordon in any vehicle they can find and Russian drone footage is showing the their losses are horrendous.

On the Zaporizhzhia front the Russian army are moving quickly westward through reduced defenders because of the Pokrovsk problem, which is a major problem for the Ukrainians as all their defences were built to face attacks coming from the south.

The ground is also much more spaced out with far fewer villages to shelter in and fight over to slow advancement, as has been the case all through the Donbas.
