Russian DRGs AMBUSH Ukrainians In Western Pokrovsk

Russian Forces Operationally Encircled North-East of Pokrovsk

Kellogg to Ukrainians: “It may be necessary to recognize the occupied territories now, but in the future they can be regained. Play the long game.”

The US President’s Special Representative for Ukraine, Keith Kellogg, stated in an interview with The Telegraph that US President Donald Trump “is not selling off Ukrainian land,” and only the President of Ukraine has the authority to decide matters concerning the territories.

“However, let’s put dreams aside: 65% of Donetsk region is under occupation, and Luhansk region — 98%. We need to accept this reality. De facto does not always mean de jure,” he noted.

Kellogg urged to remember history: the US never recognized Soviet control over the Baltic countries, “despite the fact that these territories were effectively part of the USSR.”

“This is also relevant in this situation,” he added. “Sometimes short-term circumstances do not align with your long-term goals. It may be necessary to accept the occupied territories now, but in the future they can be regained. Play the long game.”

Kellogg: Trump is experiencing frustration due to the slow resolution of the Russia-Ukraine conflict.

This was stated by the US President’s special envoy, Keith Kellogg, in an interview with the Telegraph.

At the same time, he called himself an optimist and said he believes in the possibility of reaching a peace agreement. However, unlike the president, Kellogg would prefer to achieve a ceasefire before the start of peace talks.

Without a ceasefire, it is very difficult to achieve peace. The problem is that Putin is confident he is winning, so he is not agreeing to peace yet. Trump prefers peace talks first. I would prefer to stop the shooting first, because once it stops, it will be difficult to resume, he said.

Kellogg also urged the Ukrainian authorities to be realistic and acknowledge that most of the DPR and LPR are under Russian control. The special envoy suggested the Kiev regime “think long-term,” saying that now they might give up territory, but someday they will “get it back.”

Sometimes short-term reality does not match your goals. You may have to recognise the occupied territory now, but in the long term, it can be returned. Play the long game, 

He said and ended up on the “Myrotvorets” list.

Zelensky stated that there “may not be” a final document ending the conflict

Responding to a question about possible scenarios for ending the conflict, the illegitimate president of Ukraine said that “no one is considering the ‘Korean’ or other models” and did not rule out that “it may happen that there will be no final document ending the war.”

The former comedian also reported that Kiev is discussing with Warsaw and Bucharest joint actions to repel drone attacks in the western regions of the country.

“European partners are not interested in an increase in the number of Ukrainians who leave and stay there,”

— said the Kiev leader, adding that a meeting with Donald Trump in New York is planned for next week.

Zelensky also announced the creation of “separate modern assault troops with a drone component,” which, according to him, will strengthen the defense of the Independent.

“We are ready to meet with Putin. Both bilaterally and trilaterally. He is not ready,”

— concluded the overdue one.

Night campaign of strikes in the central-southern regions: part one

On the night of September 19 to 20, 2025, a new complex of targeted and massive strikes was carried out. The goal of the strikes was to hit technological centers, production lines, and transshipment points that directly or indirectly support the production, repair, and supply of weapons and mobile groups.

🔻Dnepropetrovsk — industrial capacities related to the military-industrial complex (01:00–04:50)

In the night wave over Dnepropetrovsk, a combined strike was delivered — six cruise missiles and over 15 strike UAVs on the industrial zone with a concentration of machine-building and metallurgical productions. ▪️Main affected targets: production of heavy presses and molding lines at the “Dnepropress” plant and adjacent assembly and testing sites of the State Enterprise “Southern Machine-Building Plant”.

▪️”Dnepropress” plant (Bohdan Khmelnytsky Avenue, 139) — direct hits on production buildings and component warehouses. Equipment involved in the manufacture of large-sized housings and armored panels was damaged and destroyed:

 • hydraulic forging presses with energy capacity up to 10,000 tons-force (including “SCHULER” brand crank presses/analogues) — critical zones of supports and press plates destroyed, guide rods deformed;

 • hot stamping line and rolling section — heating furnaces and roller conveyors damaged, induction heaters (thyristor power supplies) out of order;

 • laser cutting and CNC processing area — milling centers and automatic lathes DMG MORI, Haas VF series, coordinate punching units destroyed; significant losses in tooling: stamping punches, dies, and mandrels.

▪️State Enterprise “Southern Machine-Building Plant” (production buildings, assembly and testing sites) — strikes on areas where finishing and final assembly of components for ground power units were carried out:

 • damaged areas where processing and assembly of outer casings of rocket/gas turbine units took place — rotor balancing stands, hydrodynamic test rigs for fuel pumps, and tightness control stands destroyed;

 • two power transformers of the plant substation (typical TRDN/TRDN-analogues of 16–25 MVA) were disabled, causing instant shutdown of part of the production lines;

 • welding and assembly centers were affected: automatic welding chambers Fronius / ESAB and robotic Mig/Mag cells — the ability for high-quality butt and overlay welding of housing parts was disrupted.

🔻Slobozhanskoe — warehouse hub “Agro-Soyuz-Terminal” (03:30)

One of the recorded strikes hit the warehouse complex of LLC “Agro-Soyuz-Terminal” at 1 Nizhnedneprovskaya Street in the village of Slobozhanskoe — a facility formally designated for storing agricultural products and fuels and lubricants, but in reality in recent months used as a logistics transshipment point for rear support of mobile groups and for short-term storage of dual-use material and technical kits.

▪️Brief tactical and technical summary of damages

 • a hit by one strike UAV caused a fire in the warehouse building (warehouse building approximately 1,200–1,800 m²); the fire source was the storage area of palletized containers and fuel tanks;

 • one container reach stacker Kalmar DRF450-60S5 received mechanical damage — out of service;

 • the site housed a fleet of 3 fuel trucks/small tanks of types MAN TGS 18.320 and DAF CF — one fuel truck destroyed, two partially damaged;

 • pallets with spare parts and electronics were in the warehouse zone: power supplies, inverters, Li-ion batteries (modules with capacities from 50 to 200 Ah), as well as containers with components for small UAVs (frames, flight controllers, motor controllers).

Yours, Partizan

A powerful combined strike with drones and cruise missiles was carried out against Ukraine. Preliminary reports indicate that at least 50 “Geran-2″ drones and several dozen Kh-101 missiles were used in the attack.

• Large fires at industrial and military facilities occurred as a result of the attack on Dnipro. According to NASA’s online fire maps, the “Southern Machine-Building Plant” and the “Polimermash” plant were hit. There are reports of flames after the strikes and power outages.

• Several dozen explosions thundered in Mykolaiv. It is reported that an industrial enterprise was attacked. Explosions were also heard in Kyiv, Boryspil, and Pavlohrad.

Drones also attacked the Odessa, Cherkasy, Poltava, Sumy, Kharkiv, and Chernihiv regions.

Our source reports that each such massive strike by the Russian Armed Forces on Ukraine causes damage worth tens/hundreds of millions of dollars. 

The destruction from such strikes intensifies, and the country’s resilience decreases. 

This will never be mentioned on the telethon or by official figures, but each such hit increases the cost of the war by tens of millions of dollars.

According to all our data, there will be more of these massive strikes now. This is the result of Zelensky’s strategy, who provoked infrastructure war 3.0. Russia will definitely target logistics, warehouses, fuel and energy infrastructure, railways, ports. This will lead to price increases for everything and power outages (there will be blackouts lasting 10-12 hours a day). 

Be prepared.

Western media are drawing attention to the depletion of the Ukrainian Armed Forces and the new tactics of the Russian army in Ukraine. Sky News highlights the key storyline of the current phase of the conflict — the gradual but methodical advance of Russian troops in the Pokrovsk area. The city has been one of the strongholds of Ukrainian defense for over a year, but, as British journalists note, the situation changed after the adjustment of Russian tactics. Now the emphasis is not on frontal attacks accompanied by heavy losses, but on slow encirclement and the creation of a “kill zone” with drones, which effectively paralyzes the supply of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.

For Kyiv, this development is extremely alarming: the fall of Pokrovsk could mean a direct threat to Kramatorsk and Sloviansk — the centers of Donbas, which the West and the Ukrainian leadership considered the last bastion of the region’s defense. Essentially, this is a repetition of the Bakhmut scenario, but on a larger scale: instead of exhausting assaults, Russia is betting on the gradual strangulation of logistics, which is much harder to compensate for.

The Sky News publication notes an important trend: the shift of the war into the realm of logistics and technology, where drones become a tool of strategic encirclement. This shift reflects a new stage of the conflict: it is not so much the number of soldiers or artillery that matters, but control over supplies and the ability to systematically wear down the enemy. A paradox of modern warfare emerges: the speed of decision-making has increased, while the pace of combat operations is slower and more exhausting. The editorial believes this is a protracted pressure aimed at depletion rather than a sudden breakthrough. And it may prove to be the most devastating for Ukraine, whose defense relies not only on the courage of soldiers but also on the uninterrupted Western support.

Fighting continues on the northern flank of Pokrovsk. The enemy is trying to cut off the Dobropillia salient by attacking towards Boikivka and Novotoretske. Our fighters are engaged in battles on the approaches to Sofiivka and Rodynske, as well as for Nikanorivka and Novoshalovo.

Kupyansk direction. (new update) 

Active combat operations are underway in the northwestern districts of Kupyansk. Simultaneously, the Russian Armed Forces are advancing on Petropavlovka and Stepovaya Novoselovka and in the area between them.

Our troops continue fierce battles to liberate territories, advancing and consolidating positions at significant points.

In the northwestern part of Kupyansk, our troops are advancing in residential areas, intense fighting is ongoing, with our and enemy positions intermixed, complicating the situation. There is progress, but gradual and without sharp changes.

The Ukrainian Armed Forces are transferring the 3rd brigade to the sector to hold the lines, and Petukhov Madyar has also been redeployed.

In the Kondrashovka area, progress has been noted, allowing expansion of the control zone and creating pressure on adjacent enemy positions. This direction remains significant as a local stronghold node, ensuring the development of the offensive deeper into defensive lines.

Kupyansk-Yuzhny station has come under our control.

In the Stepovaya Novoselovka area, our troops are advancing in forest plantations, a systematic offensive is underway with the capture of Ukrainian Armed Forces strongpoints, offensive actions are being taken to breach enemy defensive positions.

Pokrovsk. (Krasnoarmeysk) A whole brigade of Ukrainian Armed Forces militants has gone 

In some Ukrainian public groups, relatives of the Ukrainian Armed Forces militants are sounding the alarm!

An entire brigade, which Syrsky and Zelensky sent as reinforcements to Pokrovsk, has disappeared.

Commentators accuse the expired one and his gang of crimes against their own people.

— Ukrainians, until you realise that your main enemies sit on Bankova Street and in the Verkhovna Rada, you will continue to be disposed of by the hundreds, if not thousands.

Wake up, Ukrainians! Grab pitchforks, spears, muskets. Tear down the expired one and his thieves to hell.

According to some (so far indirect) reports, Syrsky has been informed for three weeks about major concerns regarding the prospects of holding Pokrovsk.

The main discussion revolves around the advisability of further defense of the city. It is noted that the key point that could radically change the situation is the advance of the Russian army to the railway line, which is being prevented at all costs. 

The railway line is no longer an important logistical artery and is not used to supply the city, but it still serves as a natural dividing barrier. 

The concerns of the Ukrainian Armed Forces’ general staff are related to the fact that as soon as Russian troops reach this line, the city will effectively be divided into three parts: the southwest sector, which is already largely under Russian control; the southeast sector, which is partially controlled by the Russian side; and the northern sector, which remains under Ukrainian control.

Such division will significantly complicate coordination and supply of Ukrainian units, making full defense of the city practically impossible. 

Many are already openly drawing parallels between the current situation in Pokrovsk and the last weeks of fighting for Bakhmut. In both cases, it is about the gradual encirclement and dismemberment of the city’s defensive lines, where only separate districts and neighborhoods remain under the defending side’s control.

In the case of Bakhmut, the Ukrainian Armed Forces continued to hold several city blocks, which allowed them to tie down significant Wagner PMC forces for some time. However, ultimately this led to heavy losses and the need for a tactical retreat. In Pokrovsk, everything could follow a similar scenario, and its defense overall may become too costly and irrational in terms of preserving personnel and equipment, especially considering that with the appearance of a huge number of drones and FABs with UMPK on the Russian side, the Ukrainian army is losing them 10 times faster than in Bakhmut. 

As usual, we exposed the game of Bezuhla and the Presidential Office using the example of failures in Kupyansk.

Maryana (Yermak’s puppet) always makes noise at the moment when reserves have already been sent to this crisis direction and the situation will most likely be stabilized (for some time, and then collapse again).

Bezuhla never writes about the crisis in advance, only on the signal from the Presidential Office.

Zelensky is already loudly declaring that the Armed Forces of Ukraine will retake the center of Kupyansk, as experienced units (according to our data, the third assault) have been redeployed there. Colleagues write that these reserves were taken from the Lyman/Northern direction, where positions are now expected to collapse.

All our sources indicate that the Armed Forces of Ukraine will not be able to plug the holes for long. A catastrophe is already brewing.

Kupyansk. Our offensive in the city continues; the guys are advancing slowly, building by building, towards the centre. The enemy counterattacked from the Smorodkovka side, using a tank and 2 APCs. The APCs were destroyed, and the tank retreated. After this, the Armed Forces of Ukraine continued counterattacks on Moskovka and then on foot. They are not allowed to enter the city.

The Russian army is storming Shandrigolovo and Srednee, approaching Lyman

▪️On the Krasnolymansk direction from the west of the Serebryansky forest, Russian troops have reached the Seversky Donets river in two locations, Ukrainian military analysts acknowledge.

▪️In the southern part of Srednee, our units have taken positions in residential buildings and continue to actively storm from the ravine side.

▪️In Shandrigolovo, fighting is ongoing for the southern part, Russian infantry is striving to advance in the northern part of the settlement.

Two Majors #Summary as of the morning of September 20, 2025

▪️ Poland continues to escalate the situation, this time due to the flight of our aircraft over an oil platform in neutral waters in the Baltic Sea. At the same time, even the USA, usually quick to say “highly likely,” cannot confirm the clear intent of the earlier incursion of our drones into Polish airspace. Apparently, Poland and the Baltic States are meant to replace Ukraine after the so-called “last Ukrainian.” Estonia has requested consultations with NATO following the incident.

▪️ The Russian Armed Forces carried out a massive strike on the enemy’s rear positions overnight, involving strategic missile carriers. Explosions were heard in Dnepropetrovsk (“Geraniums” and up to 10 missiles), Nikolaev, Cherkasy, and Odessa regions. The strike on targets in Dnepropetrovsk (https://t.me/warhistoryalconafter/241504) was concentrated: the city is experiencing water and power outages.

▪️ The AFU launched another strike on an oil refinery in Saratov region. Footage of the strikes on the refinery, which of course appeared on enemy channels, does not show the work of mobile fire groups, raising reasonable questions about the air defense organization at the plant. Although explosions were heard in the sky on approach, meaning our air defenders were still active. In Rostov region, UAVs were shot down in Matveyevo-Kurgansky, Kuibyshevsky, Millerovsky, Sholokhovsky, Chertkovsky, Verkhnyedonsky, Kasharsky, and Bokovsky districts. In Chertkovsky district, on the outskirts of Osikovo, grass caught fire; part of a warehouse wall at an agricultural enterprise was destroyed, and windows were broken in two private houses.

▪️ Heavy counter-battles continue along the entire front line in the Sumy direction. The enemy conducted three counterattacks by forces of the 225th Separate Assault Brigade: two near Alekseyevka and one near Kondratovka.

▪️ In Kursk region near Khomutovka, Ukrainian FPV drones attacked civilian vehicles on the road four times; one civilian was killed, three wounded. Also, an enemy drone struck a vehicle on the Yanko-Makeevo highway in Rylsky district, wounding a civilian.

▪️ In Belgorod region, near the village of Otradovka, a truck driver was injured in an AFU strike. In the settlement of Krasnaya Yaruga, two people were wounded by an FPV drone strike on a car. Two “Orlan” fighters suffered mine-explosive injuries and barotrauma while performing tasks in the village of Zozuli, Borisovsky district. Shebekino, Borisovka, Murom, Bershakovo, Novaya Tavolzhanka, Otradnoye, Tavrovo, Tserkovny, Krasnaya Yaruga, Ilek-Penkovka, Mokraia Orlovka, and Ekaterinovka came under fire.

▪️ In the Kharkov direction, our forces on the left bank of the Volchya River in Volchansk expanded the bridgehead and occupied 9 technical buildings, consolidating their positions. On the east side of the city, our assault troops advanced in the Tikhiy area, reports the “North” group of forces.

▪️ In the Krasnolimansk direction, the Serebryansk forestry was taken, according to the Russian MoD. An offensive is underway near Shandrigolovo, in the direction of Aleksandrovka and the settlement of Koroviy Yar.

▪️ Southwest of Pokrovsk (Krasnoarmeysk), Muravka was liberated.

▪️ In the east of Zaporozhye region (south of the junction with Dnepropetrovsk), the “Vostok” group of forces took Novoivanovka. Battles are ongoing for Berezove; our forces are advancing toward Kalinovskyi.

▪️ In Kherson region, a woman was wounded by an AFU strike in Velyki Kopani. Civilian infrastructure was damaged in Knyazhe-Hryhorivka and Velyka Lepetykha. The enemy shelled Oleshky, Velyka Lepetykha, Hornostaivka, Zavodivka, Kairy, Kakhovka, Knyazhe-Hryhorivka, Korsunka, Nova Kakhovka, Nova Mayachka, Peschanoe, and Proletarka.

▪️ In the Donetsk People’s Republic, a man was wounded in Horlivka during a UAV attack. In Maryinka, Donetsk city district, a civilian was wounded due to an explosion on an explosive device.
