On the Pokrovsk front, where the fighting remains among the heaviest of the war, a surprise Ukrainian counterattack led by volunteers from Brazil, whose performance has quickly underscored their elite status, shocked Russian troops at the crucial settlement of Hryshyne, decimating Russian units and pushing them back. The integration of the Brazilians into the Ukrainian force stands in contrast with the Russians use of other nationalities like the North Koreans, Africans from various countries and Nepalis, who have often been tricked or forced into the military and then slaughtered.

At Pokrovsk, the Ukrainian command unexpectedly deployed Brazilian volunteers to push the Russians back in an intense counterattack. To counter Russian attempts near Hryshyne, Ukraine's Brazilian volunteer soldiers were deployed to support Ukrainian forces, with the task of clearing positions and reinforcing the counteroffensive momentum. Geolocated footage captured by a drone shows how Brazilian soldiers are clearing houses inside the settlement, using explosives to blow the entrance of the buildings and sustained small arms fire to suppress Russian positions. The Brazilians operated in small groups to reduce exposure and avoid Russian drone strikes. Their skill disrupted Russian plans, leaving attacking enemy forces in shock.
