The authorities have decided to defend Pokrovsk to the last.
This was reported by drone expert Flash.
"A military-political decision has been made to hold the Pokrovsk-Myrnohrad agglomeration for as long as possible. All available reserves will be mobilized for this purpose. From a military perspective, holding these positions is of key importance, as beyond them lies practically flat terrain deep into the Dnipropetrovsk region. If the enemy captures Pokrovsk, they will be able to effectively use UAVs over long distances from its heights. I still believe that no position is worth human lives, and I hope that, if necessary, the rescue of people will be carried out in a timely manner," said Serhiy Beskrestnov.
