Pokrovsk Is Encircled. By Fake News

WE JUST LAUNCHED A NEW FUNDRAISING CAMPAIGN TO PURCHASE DRONE DETECTORS
Please, support it????????????????
Oleksandrivka In one year, the Russian Federation has launched a record number of missiles against Ukraine: approximately 770 ballistic missiles, including over 50 Kinzhal hypersonic missiles. Including other types, the total number of missiles since the beginning of 2025 alone is 1,561. This exceeds the number fired by Nazi Germany in 1945. Last week, one hundred of those missiles struck in Donbas, near Pokrovsk; there were 40% more drones and 20% more missiles than in the previous period. Since Donald Trump took office for a second time, the trend has reached a peak last month, when the Russians fired three and a half times more than in January, with Ukraine shooting down only 120 of 269. In October, Russia also dropped a record number of laser-guided glide bombs on Ukraine: 5,328, the highest since early 2025. Nearly half of these weapons, carrying 250 to 3,000 kilograms of explosive each, fell in the Pokrovsk district. In addition to this immense firepower, the Russians have been focusing for months in that sector nearly a third of their frontline fighting. Suffice it to say that their Chief of Staff, Valery Gerasimov, has deployed some 170,000 soldiers in that area alone. Around as much as those gathered along Ukraines borders before launching a large-scale invasion in 2022. In September, 5,000 North Koreans, officially engineers, arrived in their rear areas to repair the logistics and military infrastructure destroyed by Ukraine. According to Seouls intelligence agencies,North Korea has deployed another 10,000 to the Ukrainian border to perform security functions and is preparing to send 25,000 workers to aid in the mass production of Russian high-explosive attack drones.
This may help us better understand the difficult situation at the front from where I am writing.
Facing such a reality, I was just as surprised to see firsthand thatthe defense of the Pokrovsk-Myrnohrad settlement continues, thatthe Ukrainians have liberated nearly 200 km around neighboring Dobropillia, and have cleared another 250 km of enemy ДРГ. It was equally surprising to learn from reliable sources thatno more than 200300 Russian soldiers are currently stationed in Pokrovsk. Especially, after having confirmed what Ukraine actually receives in military support from countries that dont even shoot down a single quadcopter flying over an airfield, to avoid offending Putin.
Pokrovsk is not surrounded. It was besieged which is different and, in an operation that will be remembered in war textbooks, it was liberated from that grip. About a thousand civilians remain in the city, and perhaps twice as many in the surrounding area.
Evacuating them is nearly impossible, as Dmytro Petlin, head of Donetsks Department of Operational and Emergency Services, explained. The situation remains critical, despite the fact that in the past few hours, attack aircraft from the 425th Separate Regiment Skal have once again raised the Ukrainian flag over the Pokrovsk town hall.
The Russians continue to attack coal plants in the rest of Donetsk. Five glide bombs damaged a thermal power plant on Wednesday, leaving the free part of that Oblast once again in darkness. No longer able to guarantee the safety of passengers on those trains, the national railway company Ukrzaliznytsia was forced to suspend traffic on the routes to and from Kramatorsk and then Sloviansk, limiting it to the stations of Husarivka or Barvinkove (located in the Kharkiv region) and organizing bus shuttles.
The constant flow of military vehicles of all kinds towards Pokrovsk is so intensethat you become an obstacle, even when passing more than twenty kilometers away.To disrupt this convulsive logistics, the Russians are also shelling Dnipropetrovsk, projecting KABs, drones, and other missiles even beyond Pavlohrad and Synelnykove.
Unable to boast any success that justifies the rivers of bloodshed, the Kremlin has entrusted the production of fake news to artificial intelligence.Already viral, a clumsily produced video on TikTok boasts a mass surrender of Ukrainian soldiers in Pokrovsk that never actually happened. As I observed a few hours ago in a radio link from the field with RAI, the media situation is so confusing that flipping through a dozen newspapers yields as many versions. Sometimes even contradictory ones. Some are repeating false reports, such as the claim of a Ukrainian surrender. Others lack independent information because reaching the front is objectively a near-suicidal undertaking.The sky is filled with drones, GPS is down, roads are mined, and the Russians are shooting on sight at both military and civilian vehicles, including ambulances and press units. Suffice it to say, in the past few days alone, they have killed seven media workers.This is why, on that front as well, we see the same pattern as in Bakhmutwhere, depending on what certain bloggers shared from the field, others, from a distance, dismissed towns like Klishchiivka and Andriivka as lost, only to recapture them on the pages of the same newspaper.
Through our crowdfunding campaign, we aim to purchase and install drone detection devices on each of our vehicles to protect against drone attacks in hot zones.Anti-drone РЕБ devices have proven effective against traditional wireless drones, but are completely ineffective against those connected via fiber-optic cables. We are launching this new campaign to ensure that none of those devices will hit us when we approach the frontlines where we write our articles.Your support will not only protect us but also the civilians and defenders within the devices range.

波克羅夫斯克被包圍：假新聞

我們剛剛發起一項新的募捐活動，購買無人機探測器
請支持我們????????????????

在過去的三年裏，作為自由撰稿人，我們一直在烏克蘭戰爭的所有前線進行報道，自從大規模

奧列克桑德裏夫卡（Oleksandrivka）在一年內，俄羅斯聯邦向烏克蘭發射了創紀錄數量的導彈：大約770枚彈道導彈，包括50多枚匕首高超音速導彈。包括其他類型在內，僅自2025年初以來的導彈總數已達1561枚，超過了1945年納粹德國發射的數量。上周，其中100枚導彈擊中了波克羅夫斯克附近的頓巴斯；與前一時期相比，多了40%的無人機和20%的導彈。自唐納德川普第二次就職以來，這一趨勢在上個月達到了高峰，當時俄羅斯發射的導彈數量是一月份的三倍半，烏克蘭僅擊落了269枚中的120枚。十月，俄軍還在烏克蘭投下了創紀錄數量的激光製導滑翔炸彈：共5,328枚，這是自2025年初以來的最高紀錄。這些武器中近一半，每件攜帶重250至3,000公斤的炸藥，落在波克羅夫斯克地區。除了如此龐大的火力，俄羅斯數月來一直在該區域集中近三分之一的前線火力。可以說，俄軍參謀長韋拉裏格拉西莫夫僅在該地區就部署了大約17萬士兵，約與2022年大規模入侵烏克蘭前邊境線上的兵力相當。在九月份，5000名朝鮮人以工程師的官方身份抵達他們的後方地區，修複被烏克蘭破壞的後勤和軍事基礎設施。據首爾情報機構稱，朝鮮還在烏克蘭邊境部署了另外1萬人，擔任安全職能，並準備派遣2.5萬名工人協助大規模生產俄製高爆攻擊無人機。
從我寫作的地方著眼或許有助於我們更好的理解前線困難形勢。
麵對這樣的現實，我震驚地親眼看到，波克羅夫斯克-米爾諾赫拉德地區的防禦仍在持續進行，烏克蘭人在鄰近多布羅普裏亞地區已解放了近200平方公裏，並清理了另外達250平方公裏的敵方偵察和破壞隊伍（ДРГ）。更令人驚訝的是，據可靠消息源透露，目前在波克羅夫斯克剩餘的俄軍不過200到300人。特別是，確認了烏克蘭實際上從那些沒有擊落飛過其空軍基地的四軸飛行器以避免激怒普京的國家獲得了軍事支援。

波克羅夫斯克並未被包圍，而是遭圍攻兩者是有區別的在一次將載入戰史的行動中被解放。城內仍有大約一千名平民，周邊地區的平民可能是該市的兩倍。
正如頓涅茨克行動與緊急服務部主任德米特羅佩特林解釋的那樣，撤離他們幾乎不可能。盡管烏克蘭斯卡爾第425獨立旅在幾小時前再次在波克羅夫斯克市政廳上升起烏克蘭國旗，但局勢依然危急。

俄羅斯人繼續攻擊頓涅茨克其他地區的煤電廠。周三，五枚滑翔炸彈損壞了一座熱電廠，使該州的非占領區再次陷入黑暗。由於無法保障列車上乘客的安全，國家鐵路公司Ukrzaliznytsia被迫暫停了往返克拉馬托爾斯克和斯洛維安斯克的列車線路，改由在呼薩列夫卡或巴爾文科車站安排巴士接送。
向波克羅夫斯克方向不斷湧來的各種軍事車輛如此密集，即使在距離超過二十公裏之外，你的車也有可能成為軍車的障礙。為了打擊這個忙亂的後勤調度，俄軍又炮擊第聶伯羅彼得羅夫斯克，不僅投放克拉那導彈、無人機和其他導彈，還將火力延伸到帕夫洛拉德和辛內爾尼克沃等地。

克裏姆林宮無法誇耀任何為流血之河辯護的成功，因此將假新聞的製作委托給人工智能。抖音上走紅的一個拙劣的視頻，吹噓在波克羅夫斯克的烏克蘭士兵大規模投降，但實際上從未發生過。正如我幾小時前在與RAI的現場無線電鏈接中觀察到的，媒體的狀況如此混亂，翻閱十幾份報紙就會得出許多不同的版本。有時甚至還相互矛盾。有些報道在重複虛假消息，比如聲稱烏克蘭投降。也有一些缺乏獨立信息來源，因為從客觀上講，親抵前線是一項近乎自殺的任務。天空中滿是無人機，GPS係統已關閉，道路上布滿地雷，俄羅斯人隨時開火攻擊軍用和民用車輛，包括救護車和新聞車輛。僅在過去幾天裏，他們就殺害了七名新聞工作者。這也是為什麽，根據一些博主從現場分享的消息在前線我們看到的模式與巴赫穆特類似，而其他人遠程宣稱克利什奇伊夫卡和安德裏伊夫卡等城鎮已被攻占，但在同一份報紙的頁麵上又重新奪回他們。
（圖：我在頓涅茨克州縱行，前往頓涅茨克地區版權所有，Giorgio Provinciali）
我們的目標是，通過我們的眾籌活動，可以在每輛車上購買和安裝無人機探測設備，以防止在前線熱點地區遭受無人機襲擊。反無人機РЕБ設備對傳統無線無人機效果良好，但對通過光纖連接的無人機完全無效。我們發起這場新募捐，希望確保在我們接近前線寫作時，這些設備都不會擊中我們。您的支持不僅能保護我們，也能保護有效範圍內的平民和烏克蘭戰士。
