In the Vovchansk direction, Russian forces continued their offensive on the city and have made new progress in its southern suburbs.

Russian forces advanced from the area of the railway line to first three-story buildings, establishing control over them and the surrounding areas. They also pushed east towards the highway, capturing new positions on Selianska, Verhnia, and Kharkivska Streets, while other forces pushed south towards the southern blocks of three-story buildings, which were brought under full Russian control.

+ ~0.78 km² in favour of Russia.

2 Iskanders on Chernihiv Oblast

Disappeared near Novhorod-Siverskyi, Chernihiv Oblast. They were launched from near Lgov, Kursk Oblast (new launch position as far as I know).

Iskander on Varvarivka, Donetsk Oblast

The missiles flying to Chernihiv Oblast were mixed up with MLRS. The Iskander launch took place to Donetsk Oblast and flew over Kharkiv Oblast.

Russian FPV drone strikes on the "Road of Life" from Pokrovsk. In reality, there is no road... just a corridor of open fields.

These open fields are under complete Russian fire control from drones. Everything that comes in and out of the city is targeted. Ukrainian sources are stating that logistics into the pocket is practically impossible.

This is exactly why you don't leave a withdrawal to the very last moment. Unfortunately, none of these traitors in the Ukrainian command will ever be held responsible for the massive amounts of casualties that they have caused.

Avdiivka, Bakhmut, Vuhledar, Velyka Novosilka, Sudzha, Myrnohrad, Pokrovsk... when will they fucking learn???

The answer is they don't care. PR is being prioritised over lives, and this ugly truth is being presented to everything right now.

If you currently live in Ukraine or Russia and feel comfortable with getting in contact with me, please DM me. I’m looking to increase the scope of my sourcing and reliability of the information I provide, especially on Russian and Ukrainian attacks.

You will remain anonymous, and in complete control of the information you choose to provide, and how you provide it. I will only publish information that you allow me to, and that doesn’t put anyone from any side at risk. This will be extremely beneficial to my reporting.

I also have Signal if you prefer that.

The difference in net Russian advances between different mappers for October 2025 is incredible.

Despite some reports, Pokrovsk city is not yet under full Russian control.

Over the last 5 days, the remaining Ukrainian resistance in the northern suburbs has largely been from cover units as withdrawals are made from the non-encircled areas towards Hryshyne and Shevchenko. These areas have since been transferred to the grey zone.

Fighting continues in the northeastern part of the city, primarily in the high-rise district which will come under Russian control shortly. This high-rise district acted as blocker for Russian advances to physically cut off Myrnohrad, but over the last 36 hours it has been bypassed and rendered useless.

The Ukrainians in northeastern Pokrovsk, Myrnohrad, Lysivka, Sukhyi Yar, Rivne, and Svitle are effectively cut off, with only a small ~1.3 km corridor of grey zone remaining. Nevertheless, most of Myrnohrad remains under Ukrainian control.
