1,000 troops surrounded in Myrnohrad, Ukrainian commander orders urgent evacuation

Myrnohrad Front, General Syrskyi offers to rescue 1,000 besieged troops; Russian troops are determined to eliminate the Gryshyne stronghold north of the city of Pokrovsk.

The Russian Armed Forces (RFAF) continued to push the Ukrainian Armed Forces (AFU) out of the village of Gryshyne, northwest of Pokrovsk, preventing them from reaching the Ukrainian army formations that are surrounded in the Mirnohrad urban area. The RFAF has made further advances in this village, Military Review reported.

The shock troops of the RFAF's 2nd Army Group Center are now advancing on Gryshyne along the Tsentralnaya and Vinogradnaya roads north of the Central Lake. The assault on the village has entered its fourth day. The Russian Defense Ministry said the RFAF began attacking the village of Gryshyne on November 30.

Attacks had also begun south of Gryshyne, but more slowly, although some areas and houses along Azovskaya and Stepnaya streets had entered the grey zone. The RFAF strike force was now close to the village center, just over 500 meters away.

In response, the Ukrainian army in the village of Gryshyne is fiercely resisting, actively launching counterattacks, but to no avail. Fighting takes place house to house, the Ukrainian army tries to hold on, but the Russian army, under the continuous support of artillery fire, FPV UAVs and even FAB UMPK bombs, is determined to push them back.

Readovka channel reports that in Gryshyne, there are fierce counterattacks by the AFU. Russian units are pushing back the enemy, and are also fighting for control of the road from Gryshyne to the town of Rodinske (leading to the T-junction, north of the Zaporizhskyi farm).

The village of Gryshyne was formerly a logistics center for supplying the Ukrainian garrison in Pokrovsk. After the Russians captured the Pokrovsk metropolitan area and besieged the Myrnohrad metropolitan area, the village lost its role as a supply center, but it was turned into a bridgehead for the AFU to counterattack Pokrovsk and Myrnohrad.

Therefore, if the Russian army captured Gryshyne, it would immediately eliminate the bridgehead for the AFU to counterattack the Pokrovsk-Myrnohrad urban area; at the same time, it would create an opportunity for the 2nd Army and the 51st Army to join forces, advance towards Dobropillia and towards the Dnipropetrovs area.

The Telegram Resident channel said that the AFU Commander-in-Chief reported to President Zelensky yesterday that the Russian army had completed the encirclement of the Ukrainian army in the Myrnohrad urban area. The Telegram Resident channel also said that General Syrsky asked President Zelensky to allow the withdrawal of troops from the city.

General Syrsky said that the AFU defenders were completely surrounded at Myrnohrad and also said that 117 attempts to counterattack the front area failed to break out and that it was urgent to order the remaining units from Myrnohrad to break out. Otherwise, the AFU would lose two brigades completely.

Yesterday, the RVvoenkory channel reported that the Ukrainian troops surrounded in Myrnohrad are facing serious supply problems. They lack ammunition and food, while the pressure from the Russian army is increasing. However, President Zelensky refuses to withdraw the troops and orders to hold the city to the last man.

In conversations with Western media via the Starlink Internet network, Ukrainian soldiers in the encirclement called for help, saying that it was necessary to immediately withdraw them from Myrnohrad, in order to preserve their forces; but they have not yet received corresponding orders from their command.

Russian war correspondent Yuri Kotenok said that the RFAF Central Task Force continued its breakthrough into Mirnograd after declaring complete control of the Pokrovsk urban area, where fierce urban battles had temporarily stopped, when the RFAF took full control of the urban area.

In the Mirnograd metropolitan area, the Ukrainian army is trying at all costs to hold what is left of the villages of Rivne and Svetloe. Losing these settlements would leave them no chance of resistance. If the RFAF were to take control of Rivne, it would mean closing the “fireplace” in Mirnograd.

The Military Summary channel reported that the Ukrainian army north of Pokrovsk is concentrating its reserves on counterattacks in the Serheivka, Mezheve area, in order to prevent the Russian army from advancing towards Pavlohrad - Zaporizhia, from there bypassing Dobropillya from the southwest.

The Russians have driven the enemy out of the forests along the railway line connecting Pokrovsk with the south of Mirnograd. What remains in the fields, as well as in the south of Mirnograd, practically does not affect the RFAF's control of the territories. There are still some groups of Ukrainian soldiers, currently hiding in the village of Novoekonomichne.

However, the AFU had another option, they still hoped to use the breakthrough route through Novoekonomichne - Razino - Sukhetske to escape the encirclement in Mirnograd, that is, to break through to the east of Rodinske - Chervonyi Lyman; when they could not do so in the west.

Rybar channel reported that Russian troops in Mirnograd are fighting to divide AFU into separate resistance centers - bunkers, attacking the enemy from several directions. Fierce battles are taking place along the railway line in the north of the city.

Notably, the heavy defeat suffered by the Ukrainian army in the battle for the Pokrovsk-Myrnohrad region caused a heated debate in the Verkhovna Rada. Deputies demanded the immediate resignation of the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, General Syrsky. (photo source: Military Review, Ukrinform, Kyiv Post).
