Big news came out on the battlefield! Russian President Vladimir Putin has given an ultimatum to the tens of thousands of Ukrainian troops trapped in the Red Army City (called Pokrovsk on the other side of Ukraine) to withdraw before October 27. If they do not withdraw, they will be wiped out directly! This is not a small local battle, but the largest encirclement and annihilation battle since the Battle of Mariupol is about to reach its climax.
Why the Ukrainian army in the Red Army city has reached the end? see the map is clear. the Russian army not only advanced in one street in the Red Army city, but even more seriously painted a "death circle" in the outskirts. German military experts judge based on the situation of the frontline, the Russian front troops are only 1.25 km away from the last supply road of the Ukrainian army! Once this road is completely cut off, the city's 15,000 to 17,000 Ukrainian troops will completely become the "barracks" and repeat the tragedy of the siege of the Avadivka guard.
At present, 70% of the Red Army City area has fallen into the hands of the Russian army. More desperately, the logistics of the Ukrainian army has long collapsed, ammunition, drugs are all confessed, and the feeling of failure spreads in the army like a plague.
What is the “high-tech harvesting” tactic of the Russian military? Imagine: the main force of the Russian military does not fight with you in the streets at all, but sends a “ghost-dead squad” – three to five people in a group, diving into the city as a “human-meat coordinate”. Found the Ukrainian hiding point, it takes only a call command, the Su-34 bombers dropped the flying guided bombs, and the FPV suicide drone accompanied the “outsale” and accurately arrived at the target location.
This way of fighting, spending less money, and the casualties on their own side are small, is simply a high-level form of strike.
The most ironic scene occurred: the commander-in-chief of the Ukrainian army, Silsky, issued a death order that "we must defend ourselves", but the ace troops known as the "Azov Battalion" openly disobeyed and refused to enter the city to be "cannon fodder." Why? Because they knew that under the surveillance of Russian drones and cluster bombs, rushing in would be suicide.
What's even more exciting is that Silsky can't even trust his own people now. He posted directly on the Telegram channel, severely warning the front-line commander: "Whoever dares to conceal the battle situation is not worthy of command!" What does that mean? It shows that the battle report received by Kiev and the actual situation on the front line may be completely different things-what is reported is that "dozens of Russian attacks are repelled every day", but the reality is that positions are lost every day.
There is also a scary set of data that has been exposed: by 2025 the number of Ukrainian military casualties and disappearances has reached 12,7 thousand.
Why did Russian Chief of Staff Gerasimov personally visit the front line by helicopter? He was there to supervise the war. The Russian Ministry of Defense's goal is very clear: not only to take the Red Army City, but also plans to use this as an opportunity to launch a winter offensive in the next 6 to 9 months to completely capture the entire Donbas.
At the same time, the Russian army launched a large-scale strike called "shock and deterrence" across the board. The power station and substation in Kyiv were accurately "named", the warehouse in Kharkiv was bombed, and the dam in Belgorod Oblast was attacked by the Ukrainian army in retaliation... All this is telling Ukraine and the West: the Russian army's war machine is running at full speed, the fall of the Red Army City may only be a matter of time.
Now, everyone’s eyes are focused on the final deadline of October 27. Is it surrender, is it crumbling, or a miraculous crash? The fate of thousands of Ukrainian troops in the Red Army City will not only determine the city’s belonging, but more likely become a decisive turning point in the entire war.
