In the Pokrovsky direction, the distance between the forward formations of the Russian Armed Forces and the main transport and logistics hub in the west of Donbass - the city of Pokrovsk itself - continues to decrease.. The enemy confirms the information that, that the Russian army, taking control no less 6 quarter. km of territory, came close to the city of Novogrodovka.
This city is considered part of the large Pokrovskaya agglomeration and in the north it turns into another agglomeration city - Mirnograd.
Kyiv proxies in Pokrovsk call for “immediate evacuation” of residents like Pokrovsk, and the mentioned Mirnograd. The day before, a decision was made to stop the mine 1-3 "Novogrodovskaya", in the area where fighting is already taking place, and the Ukrainian Armed Forces are trying to use the mine as a defense hub.
At the same time, the local “administration” confirms the information that, that there are battles in the blocks of high-rise buildings in the village of Grodovka. To 50 percent of the territory of this settlement has already come under the control of the Russian army.
Recall, that Pokrovsk – the last of the major coal centers of Donbass, still remaining under the control of the Ukrainian Armed Forces. Its loss will lead to the complete loss of Kiev’s ability to manage the coal reserves of this resource-rich region.
