The place of Pokrovsk has been dismantled at the outer part of the Donetsk region, which is called the “exit gate to Donbass”. Over the past month, the occupation forces managed to approach the populated area within 6-10 kilometers.

Pokrovsk May This is of great strategic importance, and the place is not only known as a commercial place, but also provides access to important roads, rich in income. Due to the deterioration of the unsafe situation in Pokrovska, the work of the largest coal mine in Ukraine has often been slowed down.

How is the meta of Russia good for Pokrovska
Ukrainian defense forces are repelling the attacks of the Russian troops from Pishchany, which is near Pokrovska. There are no Russian saboteurs near Pokrovsk, and the fighting on the outskirts of the place has stopped, as Nazar Voloshin, river officer of the OSUV “Khortytsia”, said for days.
According to the opinion of the military expert, reserve major of the ZSU Oleksiy Hetman, it is entirely possible that the occupiers want to leave the march to Pokrovsk and avoid street fighting, and even the enemy of reason, that street fighting is the price It's been a month, and they need to wake up quickly.
“That’s why their plans are to recapture the place from the very beginning of the day. To take it in the ring or the Nipovkil village and take over our garrison, which is defending there, and leave this settlement. That’s all. understand more our General Staff and those headquarters that are engaged in planning military operations,” Hetman said in a comment to the RBC-Ukraine YouTube channel.
The intense struggle on Pokrovsky is downright troubling. Ukrainian forces are trying to strengthen the defense there. If there is a danger for the ZSU, the most important forces of the enemy, through which it is important to stream, respect the expert.
About the risks for the ZSU at the time of loss of place
Oskilki Pokrovsk is the remaining great place before the administrative cordon Dnipropetrovsk region (there is a direct road to Pavlograd), then in the Dnipropetrovsk region there are more often assumptions about those that the burial of Pokrovska could open the enemy’s routes before the assault in the Dnipropetrovsk region.
Meanwhile, expert Hetman sings that any army cannot attack continuously, and in any offensive there is a clear end goal. After this, the army is preparing and preparing for the upcoming operations.
“This operation, as is now expected, has already been prepared. It has been preparing since the end of the past fate, and so you understand that The gates are opening (until the Dnipropetrovsk region – ed.)… Well, guess the “Wagnerites” and Bakhmut,” Hetman points his butt.
He explains that at the time of planning, all logistics and logistics will be taken care of, and they will be placed at certain points of exit. And the assessment that after Pokrovsk, if the Russian Federation wants it, then there will be an increase, as after Bakhmut, the expert admits.
“This means that the war will end and that they will not plan the upcoming operation. This was planned directly in Donetsk. They can’t get rid of the stench. It’s not like that.In this way, once Pokrovsk is buried, the fighting will continue, but the intensity will change and the Russians will be preparing for an offensive operation. Ale after a pause.
