Ukraine forces Russia into collapse and scorched-earth tactics on the Myrnohrad front R

The situation around Myrnohrad is entering a critical phase, as Russia’s costly push toward the town is colliding with the limits of its manpower, terrain, and tactics. What Moscow hoped would become a quick replication of the Pokrovsk infiltration model has instead turned into a grinding contest of visibility, drones, and fire control across open ground. The landscape around Myrnohrad gives Ukrainian defenders a decisive advantage, exposing Russian movements and forcing them into predictable approaches under constant overwatch. As attrition mounts, Russian commanders are increasingly resorting to destructive tactics meant to compensate for their inability to secure a foothold inside the town. The struggle has now become a test of logistics and stamina, with both sides exploiting weather conditions, electronic warfare, and drone innovations to gain even marginal advantages. Against this backdrop, Myrnohrad has become more than a tactical objective — it is a measure of how far Russia is willing to go when its offensive momentum stalls.
