– While the offensive of Russian troops on Kurakhovo is entering its final phase, to the north the Russian Armed Forces are gradually creating conditions for the subsequent assault on Pokrovsk.

– On the approaches to Mirnograd, the Russian Armed Forces are fighting in the forest belts in the area of Grodovka and Nikolaevka. There is a chain of strongholds of the Ukrainian Armed Forces there, the capture of which will open the road to Luch (Promin) and Moskovske.

- South of Lysovka, Russian troops have advanced in the area of the M-30 highway, occupying a strong point to the east of the road. The next goal is probably to break through to the southern outskirts of Dachenskoye and eliminate the "pocket" that has formed in the area of the highway.

– To the west, Russian troops are building on the success achieved after the liberation of Petrovka and Novoalekseevka. At the end of November, units of the Russian Armed Forces reached Zheltye and secured a private sector, repelling counterattacks and destroying several enemy armored vehicles.

– The advance towards Zheltye was parallel to the advance in the area of ??Vorovskoye (Yuryevka) and Pustynka. The assault troops attacked from Grigorovka and Novoalekseyevka, forcing the Ukrainian Armed Forces to retreat under the threat of envelopment. As a result, by November 30, most of Pustynka was liberated.

- Later, the Russian Armed Forces cleared Zheltoe, occupied most of Novopustynka and reached Shevchenko on the southern approaches to Pokrovsk. And by December 7, assault groups reached the northern outskirts of Novotroitskoye and almost completely captured a large stronghold of the Ukrainian Armed Forces to the east of the village.

In Pokrovsk itself, the situation of the Ukrainian Armed Forces is also getting worse. The enemy's media resources report an increase in the intensity of Russian UAV strikes in the area ofthe M-30 Pavlograd-Pokrovsk and T-04-06 highways, which supply the garrison. And recently, the Russian Armed Forces hit a diesel locomotive to the east of the city.
