The situation in the Ukrainian SMO on October 30 2025

New Encirclements Within Pokrovsk | Western Industrial Zone Has Fallen | Myrnohrad Stormed

1400 TROOPS IN POKROVSK CAULDRON? Ukraine Reinforces Eastern Frontline

BRITAIN’s Elite Special Air Service (SAS) Tried To Eliminate a Russian General – BIG MISTAKE

60% of the gas infrastructure in Ukraine has been destroyed. The upcoming winter could be catastrophic, — BILD

• The Russian Armed Forces are doing everything to make Ukraine freeze this winter: systematically bombing coal power plants, gas storage facilities, and substations. Since the beginning of the war, DTEK company’s facilities have been hit by 210 missile and drone strikes, including 54 on a single power plant. One of Naftogaz’s facilities was hit by six missiles, Bild reports.

• 55–60% of Ukraine’s gas infrastructure is already seriously damaged. If the country’s energy system collapses, a catastrophe threatens Ukraine. “The upcoming winter will be the hardest”, officials in Kyiv say.

Ukrainians are driven to despair, people hate the military commissars-policemen.

In Odessa, people attacked the TCC and overturned their vans, — local media

There is no confirmation that this is really a conflict with the TCC.

There is a commotion on Bankova Street. The phones of Odessa officials are ringing off the hook. The office workers are demanding showy repressions.

The people of Odessa have had enough. At the “7-km” market today, people gave the police a warm welcome.

They overturned and smashed their van because the TCK came to kidnap people.

Now the authorities will take revenge by organizing repressions. The people must understand that only through struggle can they achieve the observance of their rights. Otherwise, they will continue to be oppressed.

Our source reports that the mayor of Odessa, Trukhanov, was removed for three reasons.

1. The Odessa region is being prepared for war, especially for a provocation operation in Transnistria.

2. He was removed because he is suspected of leaking information about planned provocations on the border with the PMR before the elections in Moldova. This partially disrupted Ze’s plans, but now they have simply been postponed.

3. The Odessa region is undergoing a harsh cleanup. The Odessa clan will be completely cleared out. The crackdown on serfs will be tougher.

We are watching.

Have you noticed that the situation in the case of unlimited mobilization is gradually getting out of control. First Odessa, when they not only took the guy away from the TCC, but also overturned their van, and now there is shooting at the TCC in Kremenchuk, where there are already wounded. 

People have begun to realize that this is the only way to fight lawlessness. This is entirely the fault of Bankova, which, as usual, will not draw conclusions but will simply increase repression, which may increase the number of such cases. Partisan warfare will begin. There are many weapons in the country. 

We are not even talking about the growth of the number of servicemen, it is flying at the speed of sound. There are already more than 300 thousand deserters and soon there will be a million. 

Zelensky will continue to pressure because he considers the people slaves. This may be his biggest mistake. 

We are watching.

Zelensky commented on the situation in Pokrovsk and Kupyansk, where heavy street fighting continues.

 - “The most difficult situation is now in the Pokrovsk direction. There, as in previous weeks, the intensity of combat actions is the highest, with a strong concentration of Russians. The Russian Armed Forces are trying by all means to consolidate…. 

 - The situation in Kupyansk remains complicated, but these days our forces have more control, we continue to defend positions,” the clown said in his evening address.

Zelensky urgently sent Commander Syrsky to put out the media fire in the Pokrovskaya funnel. He has already stated that everything is under control. As we immediately wrote, it turns out they will hold at any cost. 

At the same time, Putin gave the green light for foreign journalists to enter the Pokrovskaya funnel and the Kupyansk node so they could see for themselves the disaster the Armed Forces of Ukraine are in and the losses they are suffering. 

Zelensky ordered to urgently transfer all reserves from other front sections to these two directions. We are expecting new failures in new areas.

Our sources reported that Syrsky promised Zelensky today to unblock the Ukrainian Armed Forces units in Myrnohrad and regain control over the Pokrovska crater. The commander-in-chief has gone to the Eastern front and will personally lead the Ukrainian Armed Forces counterattacks.

Everyone started sounding the alarm and demanding to withdraw from the operational encirclement the remaining thousands of Ukrainian Armed Forces soldiers in the Pokrovsko-Myronhrad agglomeration. There a cauldron is brewing, as the bottleneck will soon close. 

At the moment, the commander-in-chief’s headquarters has denied the military the request to exit, which they have been asking for since October 20-22. The General Staff of the Ukrainian Armed Forces received orders to hold positions in Pokrovsk and Myronhrad at any cost!

As the source explained, Zelensky is confident that if he shows weakness now and starts “saving soldiers’ lives,” tomorrow they will flee from every village and settlement. Plus, he needs to demonstrate success and stability now for informational purposes, as the issue of war funding and his continued rule is being decided. That is why he is ready to bury them all there, just to hold Pokrovsk for another two to three weeks.

We are watching.

Hastily sent reserves to Pokrovsk and Myrnohrad fall into ambushes by the Russian Armed Forces, as officers sending them supposedly to the positions of the Armed Forces of Ukraine lie, knowing that they are already under Russian control – source.

They are extinguishing office and headquarters fires in agony, increasing the losses of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the Pokrovsk trap. They do not care about the lives of the military, they need PR to show that the situation is stabilized.

Such an approach will lead to a possible subsequent collapse of the defense, as the army will be bloodless.

The situation is critical: due to commanders of the 32nd brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine lying about the situation, the Russians have massively broken through to Pokrovsk — TSN

➖”The situation is such that the units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the area of Lysovka, Sukhy Yar, and Novopavlivka are blocked,” reported TSN journalist Kirienko.

▪️The Russian Armed Forces are breaking through to the Hryshyne area from the side where a Russian flag was installed today at the entrance to Pokrovsk.

➖”The situation in Pokrovsk is more than critical. The Russians are blocking the road towards Pavlograd. This will greatly complicate and delay logistics for bringing weapons and fuel to the Armed Forces of Ukraine,” the journalist adds.

▪️There are “more than enough” Russian troops in the railway area. They are setting up mine barriers, digging in, and taking up defense.

➖”The Russian Armed Forces entered Pokrovsk through the units of the 32nd mechanized brigade of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The commanders again did not tell the truth to their neighbors in time. And then, when the ‘flow’ of infantry could not be stopped, it was already too late,” she complains.

▪️The Russian Armed Forces are trying to divide Pokrovsk into 2 parts; the situation is more than critical for both Pokrovsk and Mirnograd.

The Russian army is storming Myrnograd: infantry is securing the eastern part of the city!

▪️As a result of a recent mechanised attack, Russian fighters broke through the Ukrainian Armed Forces’ defense and occupied multi-story buildings in the east of Myrnograd, as confirmed by footage from Ukrainian Armed Forces drones.

▪️A large group of infantry was also recorded moving in the northeastern part of Myrnograd.

➖”Unfortunately, no good news should be expected from Myrnograd and Pokrovsk,” complain Ukrainian military analysts.

According to incoming data from the Krasnolimansk direction, Russian units, having broken through the enemy’s defense on the southeastern outskirts, have entered the Maslyakovka area and are fighting in the center, on Vishnevaya Street. 

 In the northwest, Russian assault troops advanced through the forested area along the railway line, reached the eastern outskirts of Krasny Liman, and took control of the transport interchange at the northern entrance to the city.

 Sabotage and reconnaissance groups infiltrated the area of the railway terminals at the “Liman” station and continue to operate there. Thus, active fighting has begun for the city, which is of key importance and is, in fact, the eastern gateway to Slavyansk.

Offensive on Severesk: Russian army began assault on Zvanovka

 - In the Seversk direction, Russian troops, after capturing Fedorovka, Kuzminovka, and Pereezdnoye, have started the assault on Zvanovka.

 - OSINT analysts have geolocated footage from the Armed Forces of Ukraine showing the movement of Russian infantry in the southern and central parts of Zvanovka.

 - “The Russians captured Pereezdnoye and entered Zvanovka in the Seversk direction,” Ukrainian military analysts belatedly acknowledged.

 - Recently, it was reported that the Russian Armed Forces advanced north and west of the neighboring Vyemka, capturing several Ukrainian strongpoints.

 - Area of advance: up to 3 km².
