Ukrainian defenders in Pokrovsk are reportedly fleeing on foot across open fields as they are being targeted by Russian FPV drones, leading to numerous casualties. The Ukrainian garrison in Myrnograd and the surrounding villages has been abandoned.
Russian troops are conducting clean-up operations in Pokrovsk, having captured nearly all of the city’s blocks. This development marks a significant victory for Russian forces, who have not only gained additional territory but also inflicted heavy casualties on Ukrainian soldiers, with thousands reportedly killed and hundreds more expected to be captured.
This situation follows ongoing military engagements in the region, as previously reported in related coverage of Russian advances at the Pokrovskoye-Gulyapole front, which highlighted coordination issues within Ukrainian forces.
