Russian forces are rapidly approaching a key military hub in eastern Ukraine, according to a local official. The city of Pokrovsk, although not a major urban center, plays a crucial role for the Ukrainian military due to its strategic location with easy access to Kostiantynivka, another important military center.
Ukrainian troops rely on the road connecting Pokrovsk and Kostiantynivka for resupplying front lines and evacuating casualties towards Dnipro. The head of the Pokrovsk city military administration, Serhii Dobriak, has issued a warning for the community to evacuate promptly as the enemy is closing in on the outskirts of Pokrovsk.
