05.11.2025 ⇢ The Day Ukraine Reclaimed Pokrovsk City Council
⌨Ukrainian media on November 5 continued to focus on the intense fighting in the Pokrovsk sector. Early reports indicated a critical situation in Pokrovsk and Myrnohrad, with discussions on Russian tactics and the potential for Ukrainian reliance on alternative weaponry to Tomahawks. Concurrently, Ukraine launched new drone attacks on Russian energy infrastructure, hitting the Orel power plant and Vladimir substation for the second time.
By the afternoon, while General Staff initially responded to rumors of encirclement, reports emerged from Ukrainian forces that they had cleared the city council building in Pokrovsk of Russian presence and re-established the Ukrainian flag. This was further emphasized by President Zelenskyy's statement that the destruction of occupiers in Pokrovsk continued into the evening.
