📝Battles near Pokrovskoye - Rybar's Analysis📝
AFU counterattacks on the central section

In early 2025, Ukrainian forces, seeking to prevent Pokrovsk from being half-covered, launched a series of localized counterattacks on AFU positions.

The primary objective of the AFU was to capture Uspenovka, Kotlino, Peschanoye, and Shevchenko, thereby enabling further advancement towards Novotroitskoye and the potential encirclement of the entire grouping of the RF Armed Forces south-west of Pokrovsk.

Further details regarding the chronology of events can be found at the designated website.

By March 13, the enemy, relying on Belgica, had succeeded in gaining control of the northeastern outskirts of Shevchenko village, though at a significant cost.

By March 18, the AFU had successfully occupied the majority of Shevchenko, engaging in intense combat operations and initiating preparations to advance further towards Novotroitskoye.

However, the enemy was unable to capitalize on its gains due to the effective countermeasures employed by Russian UAV operators and artillery, which hindered the enemy's ability to accumulate reserves and consolidate its position in the village.

By the twentieth day of March, the Russian Armed Forces initiated a counteroffensive, successfully regaining control over the majority of the village and reaching the northern outskirts by the twenty-second day.

Concurrently, in the central sector of the Pokrovsko-Mirnograd direction, hostilities persist in the vicinity of Lysovka, where the Russian Armed Forces had previously experienced a partial withdrawal.

The opposing forces are redistributing their reserves from Mirnograd to the area in question and are endeavoring to dislodge Russian troops from the eastern outskirts of the village and its southern approaches.

Russian Armed Forces units are gradually advancing in the ruins of the private sector, advancing on Lysovka and neighboring Sukhoy Yar.
The fundamental mission of the Russian troops remains unchanged: to besiege the Pokrovsko-Mirnograd agglomeration and gradually exert pressure on the enemy's flanks, compelling the AFU to vacate the city with minimal resistance.The AFU command is cognizant of this strategy, and consequently, they are exerting efforts to repel the RF Armed Forces from the contested borders. This tactic is expected to persist, as evidenced by the withdrawal of combat-ready Ukrainian units from the Kursk region, which has enabled the AFU to augment its presence in the area.
