According to the Ukrainian authorities, Russian forces are advancing rapidly in the Donetsk region, and therefore it is necessary for families with children to evacuate as quickly as possible from Pokrovskoe and the surrounding towns. reports the AP news agency.

“With each passing day, there is less time to evacuate to safer regions,” authorities warned, saying Russian forces were only 10 km from the outskirts of Pokrovsko. According to an interview with Radio Liberty, residents have about two weeks to safely leave the city.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said last week that Pokrovsk and other nearby towns in the Donetsk region were “facing the most intense Russian attacks”.

The city of Pokrovsk is one of Ukraine’s main defense strongholds and a key logistics hub in the Donetsk region. Taking it would threaten Ukrainian defenses, supply routes, and help Russia move closer to its goal of capturing the entire Donetsk region.
