Russia’s armed forces have taken the village of Promin outside Myrnohrad and Vysoke (formerly Krasne) near Hulyaipole, according to analysts. On parts of the front, the line has shifted by 1–2 km. Which positions are now 5–12 km behind the new line?
On November 26, analysts with the DeepState project updated their battlefield map, showing the red zone moving along stretches near Pokrovsk, by Myrnohrad, and around Hulyaipole. No changes were recorded on other parts of the roughly 1,000-km front in the south and east.
DeepState’s note lists six settlements in Zaporizhzhia and Donetsk regions where Russian forces either captured new localities or pushed forward.
Pokrovsk–Myrnohrad. Analysts reported that Russian forces took new streets in Pokrovsk and seized a village on the southeastern edge — Promin. Estimated Russian advance: in Pokrovsk, about 1 km, closer to the central railway station; by Myrnohrad–Promin, nearly 2 km. The DeepState map shows the gray zone, under Russian fire control, extending beyond Pokrovsk’s northern outskirts but not linking up with the pocket stretching from Rodynske and Krasnyi Lyman. The distance between these areas is about 1.2 km. The gap to the farthest Russian position near Myrnohrad is 11 km to a salient near Myroliubivka, and 13 km to Sukhy Yar and Lysivka.
On the Hulyaipole axis, Russian forces captured the village of Vysoke (formerly Krasne) and advanced near Zatyshshia (to the northeast) and Marfopil (to the southeast). The estimated advance near Vysoke is nearly 2 km.
As of November 25, the gap between the edges of the occupied zone (Zatyshshia–Marfopil) was about 4.3 km, according to DeepState’s map. By November 26, the entrance to the “pocket” near Zelenyi Hai had narrowed to 3 km, with a depth of about 5 km. The entire segment is marked gray and is under Russian strikes.
On the morning of November 26, Ukraine’s General Staff reported the number of Russian assaults over the past day. It counted 52 attacks on the Pokrovsk axis (the most of any sector) and 16 on the Hulyaipole axis (third most). The command did not report Russian advances in Pokrovsk or the loss of two villages.
Also on November 26, DeepState analysts reported confirming the presence of Russian soldiers in central Pokrovsk. Using videos posted by Russian troops, they geolocated the footage and concluded the enemy moved from north to south, inspecting homes that survived Russian shelling. The note suggests it may be unwise to send Ukrainian assault units onto central streets of Pokrovsk that the enemy took under the cover of rain and fog.
Earlier on November 26, the Ukrainian Forces’ Southern Command acknowledged a difficult situation near Hulyaipole.
