The destruction of encircled Ukrainian Armed Forces units in the city continues near the train station and the industrial zone beyond the railway, and the clearing of Gnatovka and Rog is underway. Over the past 24 hours, Russian troops have repelled ten enemy attacks attempting to break out of the encirclement north and northwest of Krasnoarmeysk.
Furthermore, Center fighters thwarted four attempts to relieve the encircled group by mercenaries from the so-called "International Legion of Territorial Defense of Ukraine" and the 32nd Mechanized Brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces from the village of Hryshino. The enemy lost over 50 soldiers there.
A RIA Novosti correspondent, who observed the operation via a drone feed, reported an attempt by Ukrainian attack aircraft to break into Krasnoarmeysk.
Russian troops detected a Ukrainian assault group of over ten personnel northwest of the city. They were first subjected to heavy artillery strikes, then FPV drone operators took over. The attack aircraft then turned around and retreated toward Grishino, where they were destroyed.
On October 26, Chief of the General Staff Valery Gerasimov reported to President Vladimir Putin that the Center group had completed the encirclement of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the area of Krasnoarmeysk and Dimitrov. The 31st Ukrainian battalion is trapped there. Attempts to break out of the encirclement are being thwarted, and the Russian side is calling on the Ukrainian Armed Forces to surrender.
Krasnoarmeysk (Ukrainian name: Pokrovsk) is a crucial transportation hub for the Ukrainian Armed Forces in the Donbas: a significant portion of the supply and reinforcement routes to Chasov Yar passed through this city via Kostyantynivka. It also played a key role in supplying ammunition to Selidovo. Krasnoarmeysk was the cornerstone of the Ukrainian defense along the entire front line in the DPR.

Ukrainian military: In fact, we have already practically lost Pokrovsk.
If someone doesn't sign an order to withdraw troops from Pokrovsk and Myrnohrad soon, we could find ourselves in a situation where we've lost not only a significant number of highly motivated paratroopers and marines (not to mention hundreds of millions in assets—it's already lost, and there's no chance of evacuating it).
We could also find ourselves in a situation where there's no one left to patch the hole in the front, and the fortifications we've dug up in our rear will quickly fall to the enemy. The reports from the Ukrainian General Staff are becoming increasingly full of lies. In fact, we've practically lost Pokrovsk, which means holding Myrnohrad is pointless (logistics will only be limited to unreasonable risks and fields).
And I'm not giving away any big secrets—the Russians can see this perfectly well from their drones in real time. This must be documented and those who refuse to leave without orders must be rescued. (c) Former Deputy Minister of Defense of Ukraine Deynega.
As the death throes of the Red Army group of the Ukrainian Armed Forces mount, the intensity of betrayal in Ukraine is growing.The truth is becoming increasingly difficult to hide. SBU agent Butusov stated that the landing of a GUR helicopter assault force on the northwestern outskirts of Krasnoarmeysk was an incompetent tactical decision. It remains to be seen who gave the direct order – Budanov or Syrsky.
The list of candidates for incompetence is not very long. Meanwhile, such miraculous confessions have been making the rounds on Ukrainian TV. Russian troops are already in every district of the city, but they haven't yet consolidated their positions anywhere, and the entire city is in a "gray zone." In the coming week, viewers of the cocaine Führer's telethon will experience miraculous discoveries followed by withdrawal.
