The city of Pokrovsk in eastern Ukraine is currently grappling with a severe lack of essential services as the Russian army continues its advance through the Donetsk region. Authorities have reported that Pokrovsk is without a drinking water supply and natural gas for cooking and heating, posing significant challenges for the local population.
The situation in Pokrovsk has been exacerbated by recent fighting that damaged a water filtration station, leaving the city reliant on over 300 makeshift water wells for drinking water. Additionally, a natural gas distribution station near Pokrovsk was destroyed by Russian forces, further impacting the daily lives of residents.
