Pokrovsk Remains in Danger: Over a Thousand Residents at Risk of Evacuation Amid Complex Frontline Situation
In the city of Pokrovsk in eastern Ukraine, the situation continues to be extremely tense and challenging for civilians.
According to local military administration reports, over a thousand people are currently trapped in Pokrovsk due to active hostilities and ongoing infrastructure damage.
Evacuation from the settlement is only feasible with direct support from Ukrainian military forces, as the enemy maintains control over all access routes, employing FPV drones for surveillance and targeted strikes.
Vadym Filyashkin, head of the Donetsk Regional Military Administration, emphasizes that the situation in Pokrovsk is among the most severe in the entire region.
He announced that at the time of reporting, 1327 civilians remain in the city, and their evacuation depends solely on Ukraine’s armed forces.
The distance to Russian occupation forces is less than a kilometer, increasing the threat level.
Ukrainian defenders are doing everything possible to halt Russian advancement and prevent catastrophic consequences.
The administration notes that without the assistance of Ukrainian military units, evacuation is nearly impossible due to drone attacks and blockades aimed at constraining movement.
As stated by Filyashkin, a way out of this dire situation is only possible with support from Ukraine’s defense forces.
