The battle for Pokrovsk will begin in the coming weeks.
Axar.az reports that Ukrainian military expert Oleksandr Musiyenko stated this.
"There is a difficult situation there now; these are not simple battles. Everything is leading to a large-scale general battle for Pokrovsk that could happen in the second half of September. I think this battle could be the last in the Russian troops' offensive campaign, which began in October 2023 in this direction with the battles for Avdiivka and has lasted for a year," he said.
He also urged not to consider the withdrawal of certain positions near Pokrovsk by Ukrainian armed forces as a complete disaster, noting that it is about preserving the combat effectiveness of the units.
According to the expert, this is actually a retreat to the main defensive line that will be in Pokrovsk.
