‘There’ll be nothing left’: Pokrovsk residents flee Russian advance • FRANCE 24 English
As the war in Ukraine rages on, weaknesses on its eastern frontline are the focus of major battles. Russian forces have been intensifying their attacks on the approach to the town of Pokrovsk, in the Donbas, which used to be a key logistical hub far back from the front, crucial for supplying Ukrainian troops and towns in the east. But now, water, electricity and gas supplies have been cut off and most residents are getting out while they still can.

well Mariupol looks better then while under "loving" Kiev regime.
Elendsky is a dead man
Thier incursion was a failure plan from Zelesnsky ,Americans,NATO and his generals 😂😂 instead of defending thier country ,tried to invade Russia now is a run no looking back 😂
So you poke the bear and then show old woman crying 😂😂😂 man you guys are hilarious.
But but but Zelensky told Biden we are winning what are talking about more money please
Kyiv are winning teh teh teh
F24 blame Macron
Asking NATO to stand next door to Russia is justifiable but If Russia resist it's invasion! Is NATO charity trust? The moment you have bad neighbors the country is never going to flourish… Azerbaijan Armenia, India Pakistan & Venezuela Guyana…the story goes.
Russia is using fly swatter against Ukraine because their ammunition were depleted to zero after the first week of the invasion.
Only a few days ago … France 24 said that “Russia is losing” and that the Kursk attack by Ukraine was an ingenious success … and that Russia 🇷🇺 is losing 1,000 men per day on the front …
How does an army that loses 1,000 men per day, and constrained by Kursk attack… make advances?
Can France 24 and the western psychological propaganda please explain that to me?
How does a car that is moving forward at the speed of light (Ukraine), manage to lose against a car that is losing tyre pressure, tyres, fuel (Russia)?
Its not Russia attacks Ukraine its their homeland too, but west put dirty fingers in their problems as usual, UK,US plot makers, Zelensky as their puppet or can be anyone else but truth is truth and we all know it.
Six months is not fast from the military operation perspective. But I totally understand the local people. It is always too fast when you have to leave your home due to a military conflict.
🏃💨 … Coming 🐻
But….. but…… the kursk invasion!!!😭😭😭
Don't blame Russia. Blame the United States!
Zelensky evils
UKRAINE IS WINNING, WE NEED TO DEFEND DEMOCRACY BY ALL MEANS
Russian bots in comments working overtime
such western propaganda was so effective at the start of the war but now the intention is clear to everyone
Boris Johnson and Keir Starmer are the representatives of Anglo-Saxon/ western warmongers. Zelenskyy is their comedian puppet and here Ukrainians suffer and lost most of its young population for what? Absolutely for nothing but Zelenskyy and his wife already have their palaces ready as an award in UK and US.
Where the UK and US. Ukrainian citizens are dying for their interest.
Show how many are staying!!!!
Six millions ukrainean refugees are in Russia..We feed up with Hollywood made dramas and tik-toc heroes of Ukraine.
It was all totally avoidable if Western and US leaders had stopped pushing NATO ever eastward.
Blitzed by Russian bots and FSB.
How I wish Palestinians could have a similar coverage!
I thought 🤔 Ukraine was winning
As is Ukraine is slowly turning into a brides / girlfriends destination for Westerners (Australians, British, Americans), but after this war it will be even worse. Saddening.
When US popped up a comedian as your president, this is what you get. Sad!
Can you do same programs in Palestine?
Zelenskyy's doomed from the start "Kursk Incursion" is the reason the Russians are advancing so quickly; he never should have let his NATO masters talk him into it.
This is what happens when you let the steins take over your country just look at Israel.
Russia will never forgive Zelensky for invading Kursk , that place has old Nazi wounds that should never be open.
That guy saying he never expected Russians to advance fast after taking basically last remaining stronghold in front of Pokrovsk, just show how blinded by propaganda many were. When Russians take Pokrovsk they will have open road to Dnipro and Zaporozhye to the west, but i guess western or pro-zelensky media don't mention that "little detail". If Ukraine don't push for some peace deal they will collapse in the next 12 months, or at least half of the country will fall to Russia if they continue fighting US war vs Russia.
They must leave because of the timing of the US elections. Politics above all.
Eso les pasa por seguir los consejos de la OTAN y de EE.UU. ahora la OTAN que reconstruya sus ciudades!
Integrate it like past and let them recreate !
Why pokrovsk residence flee? Rubbish western media don't know! People saying nothing left. Very sad. Inhuman baiden go and ask innocent Palestinians, how are you? Innocent Palestinians and innocent ukranian has lost their every thing. Coward western leaders! They wants to win against Russia. Redequlas day dreams.
Isn't the last guy said that in sarcastic ways? 😂
“Why am I leaving?” M’am, you are leaving because the oligarchs and neocons in Western countries want more money and power.
