On November 2-3, 2025, Russian forces reported advancing in the Ukrainian city of Pokrovsk, a key strategic target, with Moscow claiming progress near the railway station and industrial zones. Ukrainian forces continue to hold parts of the city despite Russian claims of control, and recent geolocated footage indicates Russian advances in southeastern Pokrovsk, while Ukrainian forces have conducted counterattacks and thwarted attempts to cut supply routes. Russian forces have prioritized seizing Pokrovsk and nearby areas like Myrnohrad, deprioritizing other sectors such as Kostyantynivka, which has seen decreased assault intensity and high casualties among Russian troops. Ukrainian forces have struck Russian infrastructure, including oil terminals and electrical substations, causing fires and damage in Russia’s Krasnodar Krai and other regions. Additionally, Ukrainian attacks targeted Russian military assets and supply infrastructure, with strikes on the Tuapse oil terminal and other strategic sites. Meanwhile, Russian military activity continues in northern Sumy Oblast, northeast Kharkiv, Luhansk, and Donetsk regions, with ongoing offensive operations and limited territorial advances. Russian forces have also attacked in the southern axis near Zaporizhzhia and Kherson, but without significant territorial gains. Russian air, missile, and drone campaigns persist, targeting Ukrainian military and civilian infrastructure across multiple oblasts, including strikes on energy facilities causing power outages. Reports also indicate unidentified drone incursions near Belgian airbases and efforts by Russian authorities to suppress insider sources sharing information about Kremlin activities. Overall, the conflict remains intense with slow territorial gains by Russia, high casualties for Russian assault units, and ongoing Ukrainian resistance and counterattacks across multiple fronts.
