The General Staff of the Ukrainian Armed Forces announced that Ukrainian command has redeployed military intelligence units, National Guard troops, Security Service (SBU) operatives, and drone operators to the area of Krasnoarmeysk (known in Ukraine as Pokrovsk).

According to the statement, these reinforcements are intended to halt the advance of Russian forces in the Krasnoarmeysk sector. The General Staff also confirmed that the Ukrainian garrison defending the city has already received additional support.

Military sources reported that Russian troops are conducting clearing operations in the «8th» and «Dinas» districts of Krasnoarmeysk after eliminating the main pockets of Ukrainian resistance. Fierce fighting is ongoing near the «Druzhba» dacha cooperative — the last suburban area still held by Ukrainian forces.

Reports also indicate that Ukrainian command is attempting to withdraw small groups of its troops from Mirnograd, a nearby town that is now almost completely encircled.
