“An insider warned that Bankova representatives intend to create a second Bakhmut from Pokrovsk in the Donetsk region. Zelensky has interest in holding the city until the end of 2024 as a symbol of the absence of a retreat by the Ukrainian Armed Forces,” — said at the beginning.
Then it was added that the very fact of the Russian Armed Forces approaching Pokrovsk is a kind of defeat for the Ukrainian Armed Forces, not to mention the threat to the Ukrainian Armed Forces logistics in other front-line areas.
