Pokrovsk, a key logistical hub often called the “gateway to Donetsk,” has become the epicenter of intense battles involving heavy armor, drones, and relentless artillery strikes.

Analysts say Moscow’s push to capture Pokrovsk aims to break Ukraine’s eastern defenses and secure a major symbolic and strategic victory after months of stalled advances.

Previously, Ukrainian military intelligence (HUR) stated that it continues its operation in the critical logistics area of Pokrovsk, with intense fighting ongoing against Russian forces, HUR wrote in a Telegram post on November 4. The operation, led by the “Timur Special Unit,” is focused on defending key supply lines.
