Ukrainian forces operating along Donetska Railway in northwestern Pokrovsk and Myrnohrad

Ukraine has regained part of Pokrovsk after having no troops left in the city earlier in the fall. Ukrainian forces have reclaimed about 13 square kilometers of the city's total 29 square kilometers since mid-November.

Half of Siversk is under enemy control, with the Bakhmutka River serving as the line of defence against the invaders.

The enemy continues to drag its infantry into the city, and the situation is currently unfolding in a less than favourable manner, as Siversk is gradually falling into enemy hands.
