Pokrovsk (Russian name Krasnoarmeysk) is about to fall, leaving the remaining Ukrainians in Mirnograd hopelessly locked in a ‘cauldron’.Key Donetsk city of Pokrovsk is about to turn back to being called by its Russian name Krasnoarmeysk.
After a 21-month battle, Russian forces have spread rapidly through Pokrovsk, a Donetsk region bastion where Ukrainian soldiers have begun to surrender.
In many ways, Pokrovsk is the ‘new Bakhmut’ – the city that the world’s media focuses on, an important Volodymyr Zelensky’s PR city.
And we know that it’s about to be lost because sources in the MSM are already stating that ‘Pokrovsk has no strategic value’ – as it has been the case with every major Russian conquest in this war.
AlJazeera reported:
“Geolocated footage placed Russian troops in central, northern and northeastern Pokrovsk, said the Institute for the Study of War (ISW), a Washington-based think tank.
Russia sees control of Pokrovsk and neighboring Mirnograd as essential to capturing the remaining unoccupied parts of the Donetsk region.”
“Ukraine sees the defense of the city as a means of eroding Russian manpower and buying time for the ‘fortress belt’ of Kostyantynivka, Druzhkivka, Kramatorsk, and Sloviansk, the largest remaining and most heavily defended cities of Donetsk.”
It’s important to remember that Russia demands the totality of Donetsk region as a primary condition for any peace negotiations.
“Russia seems to have outmaneuvered Ukraine by striking its drone operators before they had time to deploy, and cutting off resupply routes at critical points. […] By neutralizing Ukraine’s drone operators and using fiber optic drones immune to jamming, Russia reportedly acquired a numerical drone advantage in the city’s vicinity.”>
