Fighting for Pokrovsk

Currently, Pokrovsk has become a primary target for the Russians, with the occupiers attempting to breach the defenses there every day. This is why this section is one of the most challenging segments of the front.

According to Viktor Trehubov, a representative of the operational-strategic grouping of troops "Khortytsia", the Russians have changed their tactics for attacking Pokrovsk. Now, instead of attacking the city head-on, they are trying to encircle it.

It is noteworthy that as of early January, it was reported that approximately 7,300 civilians remained in Pokrovsk.
