Russian Troops Complete Encirclement of Ukrainian Forces in Rovne Area After repelling initial attacks, Russian forces near Rodinsky and Pokrovsk changed tactics, encircling well-defended Ukrainian positions in the fields. This shift strategically sealed off the area west of Rovne and Svetloe villages. Troops outside the encirclement are now attempting to break through and support their surrounded comrades. Meanwhile, conditions inside the encirclement are deteriorating rapidly, with Ukrainian forces facing shortages, continuous assaults, and mounting pressure from the Russian army. Ukrainian soldiers are retreating towards Mironograd, with Pokrovsk nearly abandoned. The remaining troops are making a last stand in high-rise buildings, but the encirclement threatens their escape. If surrender is not an option, prolonged battles may delay the inevitable collapse of the Ukrainian forces in the Pokrovsk region.
