Conflicting Reports: Claim Russia has Encircled Pokrovsk and Kupyansk

Conflicting Reports: Claim Russia has Encircled Pokrovsk and Kupyansk

October 26, 2025 8:08 AM EDT -- An onslaught of reports is coming in saying Russia has completed the encirclement of Pokrovsk and Kupyansk in Ukraine. 31 Ukraine Battalions are said to be isolated, in a "war-defining" moment.

These claims ARE disputed, but the shear volume of reports making the claim is overwhelming.

"The 'Center' troop group has completed the encirclement of the Armed Forces of Ukraine in the area of Krasnoarmeysk and Dimitrov," - from the report of the Chief of the General Staff of the Russian Armed Forces Valery Gerasimov to the president.

Russia's Chief of the General Staff, Gerasimov, reports on successes on the battlefield:

  • Pokrovsk (Krasnoarmeysk) & Dimitrov direction;
  • Yampol (Krasnolimansk direction);
  • Kupyansk (Kharkiv region);
  • Volchansk, Dronovka, Pleshcheyevka, Seversk, Konstantinovka (Volchansk direction);
  • Dnipro & Zaporizhia regions — 6 settlements liberated

Bear in mind this is breaking news and multiple media sources claim this to be 💯 percent accurate, but it must still be confirmed. A huge and well play tactical move by Russia.

If this proves to be factual - and it looks that way at this hour -- this is Azovstal steel plant x4. Will the Ukrainians surrender or fight to the last?

If the claims hold to be true, this means 31,000 Ukraine troops are now completely surrounded.  It could very well be "the end" of the Ukrainian army.
