Ukrainian marines encircle Russian assault units in Myrnohrad and force them to surrender!

The battle for the Pokrovsk axis has entered a phase where terrain, weather, and urban devastation shape outcomes as much as troop numbers or firepower. Russia is attempting to convert overwhelming bombardment into positional advantage, betting that brute force can compensate for limited maneuver space and degraded reconnaissance. Ukraine, meanwhile, is relying on flexibility, small-unit initiative, and the ability to exploit even brief windows of reduced enemy visibility. Both sides understand that control of Myrnohrad’s remaining high-rise structures will determine whether the town becomes a defensive fortress or an encirclement trap. In this environment, every gap in the rubble, every shift in the fog, and every loss of drone coverage can open or close opportunities within minutes. The result is a battlefield where strategic intentions collide with the chaotic reality of urban warfare, and where miscalculations can rapidly escalate into decisive local failures.
