POKROVSK IS FALLING: Street Fighting Rages as Ukrainian Troops Fight Encirclement
The Battle for Pokrovsk has reached a critical tipping point. Russian forces have intensified their offensive, pushing deep into the city and threatening to sever one of Ukraine’s most vital supply routes. This is more than just a fight for territory—Pokrovsk is the critical logistics hub and the undisputed gateway to the rest of Ukrainian-held Donetsk, including the major cities of Kramatorsk and Sloviansk.
Crucially, the situation in the neighboring city of Myrnohrad is rapidly deteriorating. Russian advances are attempting to cut the final logistical corridor, threatening the complete encirclement of Ukrainian troops holding this vital sector. The fall of Pokrovsk would make the defense of Myrnohrad virtually impossible, triggering a domino effect across the entire eastern front.
In this in-depth video, we analyze the strategic catastrophe facing Kyiv. We break down the Russian tactics of infiltration, the devastating use of glide bombs, and the immense pressure on Ukrainian units, which President Zelenskyy has reported are outnumbered up to 8:1 in this critical sector. We discuss the desperate race against time to prevent a catastrophic withdrawal from the Pokrovsk-Myrnohrad urban area.
