Pokrovsk - 20.11.2025

"The situation in the Pokrovsk-Myrnohrad direction as of 20:00 /Moscow time/ November 20, 2025

The assault on Pokrovsk is coming to an end. Russian troops are clearing the northern part of the city and have already advanced almost a kilometer toward Hryshyne. The enemy presence in Pokrovsk remains, but it is mostly sporadic and shows no signs of organized resistance.

At the same time, the Russian Armed Forces are developing attacks to the east. Individual assault groups have already been spotted near Rivne, the liberation of which will completely cut off the supplies to the garrison in the neighboring Myrnohrad.
Ukrainian forces are putting up fierce resistance there, but they are unable to turn the tide of the battle for it. Russian aviation is pounding enemy positions in the city almost hourly, with footage regularly appearing of airstrikes with FAB3000 "propaganda munitions".
Meanwhile, Ukrainian attempts to breach the road into the city from the north have failed. Russian troops are gradually regaining control in Rodynske and will soon physically cut off the T-05-15 highway.
The enemy, aware of the imminent loss of the agglomeration, is attempting to establish new defensive lines further north. The Armed Forces of Ukraine are most active in the vicinity of Dobropillia, which will soon be the last major defensive point before the borders of the Dnipropetrovsk region."

East Zaporozhye - 20.11.2025

"The situation in the East Zaporozhye direction as of 12:00 /Moscow time/ November 20, 2025

Russian troops of the "East" group are advancing on the approaches to Hulyaipole. The assault detachments of the Russian Armed Forces are approaching the city through forest belts, advancing in the vicinity of Zatyshshya.
Soldiers of the 114th Motor Rifle Regiment raised their flags in Vesele. This one-street village was liberated following fighting for adjacent forest belts. The village is located on the heights east of Hulyaipole.

Taking these heights will somewhat ease the upcoming assault on Hulyaipole, for which other units of the 127th Division are currently fighting their way, advancing from Yablukove.
Fighting continues for Zelenyi Hai and Vysoke.
To the north, from the Rivnopillya-Solodke line, attacks are also underway through the fields. Here, Ukrainian troops are trying to buy time to organize a defense along the Haichur River.
Further north, fighting rages on the approaches to Radisne and Nove Zaporizhzhya. And in the vicinity of Hai, where the enemy forces continue their attempts to counterattack."

East Zaporozhye - 21.11.2025

"The situation in the East Zaporozhye direction as of 14:00 /Moscow time/ November 21, 2025

The "East" group is rapidly advancing along the entire front of the East Zaporozhye direction. The liberation of the village of Radisne by the fighters from the 64th Motor Rifle Brigade has been announced.

This confirms earlier reports of the liberation of Nechaivka. Furthermore, there is progress in the forest belts east of the village, and the fighting for Nove Zaporizhzhya has begun.
Nevertheless, the situation in the sector remains tense - the enemy frequently launches counterattacks and amasses reinforcements. According to reports, the 92nd Assault Brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine has been redeployed to this sector. Ukrainian forces are active on the northern flank near Hai and to the south along the Rivnopillya-Solodke line.
Heaviest fighting continues near the Hulyaipole fortified area. Russian troops are seeking to establish control over the heights to the east, where Vesele was liberated yesterday, and where the Russian Aerospace Forces are launching airstrikes to punch holes in Ukrainian positions.
The collapse of the front in the East Zaporozhye direction is forcing the Command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine to hastily redeploy units from other sectors. Nevertheless, the enemy is still failing to slow the advance of the "Far Eastern Express".
