Ukraine Crushes Putin's Pokrovsk Offensive - Denys Davydov - Jason Jay Smart



Denys Davydov joins Jason Smart to deliver a detailed analysis of Russia’s failed offensive in Ukraine. The Pokrovsk front and the Dobropillia front have become the centerpieces of Russia’s autumn campaign, but both operations are already collapsing. Despite launching another massive Russian offensive, Moscow has failed to achieve real gains in Donbas. The reality on the ground is a frontline collapse, with Ukrainian defenses and drone strikes shredding Russian positions. This video exposes why the Pokrovsk front is bleeding out, how the Dobropillia front turned into a trap, and why Putin’s war machine cannot deliver victory in Ukraine’s war of 2025.

Denys Davydov explains how Russian maps mark Odesa and Mykolaiv as future targets, even as the Russian offensive fails in Pokrovsk and Dobropillia. Kremlin propaganda presents imaginary victories while the Russian army suffers huge losses. Ukraine’s use of drones, artillery, and fortified defenses has forced Moscow into a war of attrition it cannot win. Putin’s generals feed him false reports, while the FSB arrests commanders in a desperate attempt to hide the truth. The Kremlin’s map may show expansion, but the reality is a Russian front collapse that mirrors the wider failure of Putin’s entire strategy in Ukraine. Denys Davydov breaks down how this collapse will shape the next phase of the war.
