The situation in the town of Pokrovsk in Donetsk Oblast, where fighting has been ongoing for several months, continues to deteriorate. In preparation for the invasion of the Russian invaders, fortifications are being installed on the streets, and local authorities are urging residents to leave the city as soon as possible while it is still possible.

The head of the MMA, Serhiy Dobriak, explained that the enemy does not allow the heating season to take place, but heating stations – “Points of Invincibility” – will operate at certain points.

At the same time, the official urged the townspeople to spend the winter in safer places. According to him, if the front line moves closer and the shelling becomes more frequent, critical infrastructure and the State Emergency Service may leave the city.

“There will simply be no one to get out from under the rubble. We saw this in Avdiivka, we see it in Toretsk, Maryinka and Vuhledar, so we should not wait for it,” he stressed.

Meanwhile, fortifications continue to be built in Pokrovsk, with the help of six regions.

“If you see fortification works already taking place on your streets, do not hesitate, pack your things and leave,” Dobriak addressed the townspeople.

About 12,000 residents still live in the community, including 67 children.
