I believe in solving problems, not sharing them.

Like I've said many times now. The Russian's always try and pin their sins onto others. Everyone knows it.

Why In The Hell Are Ukrainian Assault Troops Counterattacking In Pokrovsk?

There aren't enough Ukrainian reserves for a major counteroffensive.

Nov 24, 2025

https://www.trenchart.us/p/why-in-the-hell-are-ukrainian-assault

The ruins of Pokrovsk, a mining town with a pre-war population of 60,000 that has been the locus of the bloodiest fighting in eastern Ukraine for nearly a year, are now almost totally under Russian control.

Emphasis on almost. Against the odds, Ukrainian forces are still active in Pokrovsk. Especially one unit: the 425th Assault Regiment, which took up positions along the town’s northern outskirts in late October in order to cover the retreat of the last few survivors of the main Ukrainian garrison from the 68th Jaeger Brigade and the 155th Mechanized Brigade.

On at least half a dozen confirmed occasions since then, the elite assault regiment has counterattacked near or past the east-west railway that cuts through the center of Pokrovsk. The question is—why?

The Ukrainian general staff in Kyiv along with the 7th Rapid Reaction Corps, which oversees operations in and around Pokrovsk and adjacent Myrnohrad, have released nearly identical statements characterizing the battle for Pokrovsk as unsettled.

“The defense forces maintain defined borders in the northern part of Pokrovsk,” the 7th Rapid Reaction Corps stated Friday. “We also control positions south of the railway, which are important for further de-occupation. The enemy is trying to cross the railway to increase the occupation zone of the city, but these attempts are blocked by our military.”

That’s an incredible claim—and one that contradicts the consensus among independent observers and mappers. On Nov. 18, observer Thorkill concluded the Russian Center Group of Forces controlled “about 95% to 97%” of Pokrovsk.

The sliver of the town the Russians clearly don’t control is the one that observers and official sources agree on: the narrow strip along the northern outskirts where the 425th Assault Regiment and other elite units dug in starting in late October.

Those northern fighting positions serve an obvious purpose. They’re the left side of a half-mile-wide corridor through which the Ukrainian garrison in Myrnohrad, pre-war population 46,000, began what appears to be an orderly partial withdrawal from that town in recent weeks.

Most of Myrnohrad is still nominally under the control of Ukrainian troops, but probably not for long. The town is surrounded on three sides by a Russian force that outnumbers the local Ukrainian force at least five to one. All the supply lines into the town are under constant surveillance and attack by Russian drones.

Despite the 7th Rapid Reaction Corps’ disadvantageous position, “the Ukrainian side continues to present narratives in the media that the battle for Pokrovsk is still ongoing,” Thorkill wrote.

Note the phrasing of the 7th Rapid Reaction Corps’ recent official statement. The verbiage “further de-occupation” implies a Ukrainian counteroffensive is in the offing—one that could restore Ukrainian control in Pokrovsk.

Don’t believe it. Ukraine committed its last significant reserve force, the 1st Azov Corps, to contain and eliminate a Russian incursion north of Pokrovsk starting in August. If there were other significant reserves on the Ukrainian side, they’d be helping to stabilize the collapsing front line around Hulyaipole, an important logistics hub in Zaporizhzhia Oblast 60 miles southwest of Pokrovsk.

But Hulyaipole is teetering. A small number of fresh Ukrainian troops from the 225th Assault Regiment rushed the area two weeks ago—but not to fight. Instead, they reportedly took up positions behind the 102nd Territorial Brigade, the core of the local Ukrainian garrison, and opened fire on the territorials to prevent them from retreating without orders.

The odds of a Ukrainian counteroffensive in Pokrovsk are slim. And they’ll get a lot slimmer if, as reported, the Russian 76th Guards Air Assault Division is redeploying to the area to make good heavy Russian losses during the yearlong siege.

Despite their losses, the Russians still have reserves. The Ukrainians don’t. And that means whatever small actions the 425th Assault Regiment is taking in Pokrovsk are preludes to … nothing. The Ukrainian raiders may slow the full consolidation of Russian forces in Pokrovsk, but they almost certainly can’t prevent it.

Thanks for reading Trench Art! This post is public so feel free to share it.

The Beriev plant is a key element of Russia’s military aviation industry and part of the state-owned United Aircraft Corporation under Rostec. The facility designs, manufactures, upgrades, and repairs amphibious aircraft and special-purpose aviation systems. It also services aircraft used by Russia’s naval aviation and long-range bomber forces. Its main testing base is the Taganrog-Yuzhny military airfield, which was one of the focal points of the 25 November attack.
