Azov Chief of Staff Krotevych reveals Russia’s plans if Pokrovsk is occupied

He discussed the topic with the Times.

Krotevych indicated that if the situation remains unchanged, Russia would move from Pokrovsk to Sloviansk and Kramatorsk. He noted that while these towns were under a "soft occupation" in 2014, this time the occupation would not be as lenient.

According to him, the loss of Pokrovsk should not mean the loss of Ukraine or even Donbas, but time is running out to change course.

At the same time, the fighter noted that Russian troops are suffering significantly higher losses than the Ukrainian army. However, despite these losses, they continue to arrive. In Kursk, they are deploying artillery and brigades to maintain their positions.

• Recently, the Telegraph wrote that Russian forces are actively advancing in the Pokrovsk direction and will be able to reach the town by mid-September, but will not be able to capture it.
