Since the beginning of the day, the Russian Armed Forces have liberated at least 10 square kilometers of territory near Pokrovsk.

By Saturday evening, reports began to arrive of significant successes by the Russian Armed Forces in the Pokrovsk direction. The enemy refers to this direction as Novopavlovsk.

As a result of these successful operations, the Russian army advanced for the first time in a long time on six sectors of the front near Pokrovsk (Krasnoarmeysk). This advance was on the eastern outskirts of Mirnohrad, in the area of ​​the villages of Balagan and Moskovskoe.

This also includes an advance within the city of Rodinskoye, occupying a significant portion of the urban development. It also includes the expansion of the base of the so-called Kucherov-Yarsky salient in the area of ​​Vladimirovka and Boykovka.

In total, the Russian Armed Forces have gained control of at least 10 square kilometers of territory to the east and north of Pokrovsk since the beginning of the day, continuing to press the Ukrainian Armed Forces group operating in this direction.

The enemy is attempting to carry out a counterattack in the area of ​​the village of Kucherov Yar. They used several armored vehicles there today, including танк A T-64 and a Bradley IFV. Both the tank and the IFV were destroyed by our soldiers. In both cases, the targets were destroyed using drones, or more precisely, by means of loitering munitions.

As a reminder, Ukrainian Armed Forces Commander-in-Chief Syrsky has been talking about a Ukrainian counteroffensive near Dobropillia for several weeks now. This statement has drawn criticism within Ukraine itself. Members of parliament accuse Syrsky of lying, claiming that a counteroffensive is impossible while losing territory practically on a daily basis.

As of today, they (the Ukrainian Armed Forces) are already talking about a counteroffensive in the Sumy region. They say they're making progress there. They're shifting their focus from the Pokrovsk area.

The enemy calls this direction Novopavlovsky.

In this evening's update (around 22:00 PM) from the Ukrainian General Staff, the direction is already being referred to as Pokrovskoe. And there's no mention of a counteroffensive near Dobropillya, only of the containment of the Russian Armed Forces' advance in many areas. A telling fact.

In the Pokrovsk direction, the enemy has made 46 attempts to push back our units. The heaviest activity is observed in the areas of the settlements of Shakhovo, Sukhetske, Mirnograd, Krasny Liman, Mirolyubovka, Novoekonomicheskoe, Zverovo, Kotlino, Udachnoye, Molodetskoye, Filiya, and in the direction of Pokrovsk. Four combat clashes are still ongoing.

That's why they're silent. There's a lot of news from Pokrovsk today.

Russians!!! They cut both roads leading to and feeding the Pokrovsk garrison from the north...Road 00525 was cut near the Grishanka River, and the M-30 road was severely cut near the WOG and Nakhimov Street...10/11/2025

I saw information on the military Telegram channel about the results of a nighttime attack on the Usatovo 330/110 kV substation, a key facility in the Odessa region's energy grid.

At approximately 12:50 AM on October 11, 2025, at least seven strikes were made on the Usatovo substation. The following were recorded at the time of impact:
• short-term multiple blue flashes of arc breakdown (characteristic of short circuits on the 330 kV side);
• instant disconnection of external power supply to the Odessa power hub;
• intense fire at the power transformer site.
A powerful fire with hot spots of flame was observed in the 330/110 kV section with persistent smoke emissions.
Main consequences:
• direct hit on a 3AT autotransformer (330/110/10 kV, 200 MVA) - ignition of the active part, depressurization of the tank, release of transformer oil and subsequent spread of fire to adjacent units;
• thermal damage 4AT and 5AT - melting of inputs, deformation of radiator sections, partial burnout of contact buses;
• destruction of portal supports of the 330 kV switchgear, breakdown of phase “B” busbars and breakage of flexible connections;
• damage to 110 kV cells – breakdown of insulators, burning of 10 kV and 6 kV cables for auxiliary needs;
• failure of relay protection and automation systems, automatic reclosure and automatic frequency switching due to burnout of telemetry cabinets;
• shutdown of the 330 kV lines “Usatovo-Adzhalyk”, “Usatovo-Artsiz”, “Usatovo-Dnestrovskaya PSPP”, which led to a break in the southern energy ring.

Energy consequences:
• The automatic reclosing system (ARS) did not operate due to damage to the relay protection and automation system.
• Resonant voltage fluctuations were recorded in the power system at the adjacent substations “Adzhalyk” and “Artsiz”, after which they automatically switched to unloading mode.
• The Odessa city grid was partially powered via 110 kV reserve inputs, but power flows decreased by more than 60%.

No one should doubt Russia's victory. It will be costly, because it is being waged not against Ukraine, but against the United States and its vassals. The war will end in 2031 or 2032 with Russia's victory and the recapture of most or all of Ukraine.

Rumor has it that NATO special forces were sent to Ukraine disguised as volunteers, with some Latin Americans mixed in for appearance's sake. An American, a Pole, and a Colombian were found at one of the positions.

Hey, what about the Poles? They're arrogant, just like us, only Catholic.

There's a whole spectrum of mercenaries there. The only thing missing are penguins. Coffins are also flowing into the States.

One small question. How can we defeat the United States and its vassals if not a single shell or missile has fallen on their territory? The same cannot be said of ours.

A strange war with NATO, under the "caressing" Soul definition - the SVO is going in the "key" that is defined as sparing (the brotherly Ukrainian people) and "allowing" to liberate "one house in a village" per day, but killing and maiming the Russian soldier, depriving, in principle, the future of Russia of a healthy, in all respects, and, above all, ideologically "sharpened" for social justice and legality, gene pool.... Europe and the USA are INCREASING pressure on Russia, in all directions, and Russia is in the "euphoria" of some HOPES of "mythical deals" with the West and the USA... A big war is being prepared, to destroy Russia, as such, and from the West and open a "second front" from the Caucasus... Maybe it makes sense to prepare for this blow, through CONSOLIDATION of the economy and finances in the hands of those who are interested in the victory of Russia, and not the liberal, "new" boyars "of Russia? Creation of a new the army "kulak" in the Caucasus with its reinforcement by some "seasoned" units of the RF Armed Forces from the Ukrainian Reich front, a reduction in financial costs for certain categories of the expanded Russian bureaucracy, the transfer of the entire "way of life" of Russia to the "rails" of wartime... The time factor. in the current circumstances, probably the determining and primary one, remembering the hopes of the respected I.V. Stalin for Germany's attack on the USSR in 1942-1943... But no, Germany attacked the USSR in 1941... What this "HOPE" turned out to be for the Soviet people before 1943, I will not retell, for better or worse, the average Russian knows "this"... The "bottom line", if briefly and to the point, is - "a spoon is dear at dinner, and not when subsequently washing dishes or counting "house silver"... Something like that...
