Ukrainian authorities on Monday ordered families with children to urgently evacuate the eastern city of Pokrovsk, where the Russian army is bearing down after a six-month slog across Ukraine’s Donetsk region following the capture of Avdiivka.
Local authorities said Russian forces are advancing so quickly that families must leave the city and other nearby towns and villages. Some 53,000 people still live in Pokrovsk, officials say.
Civilians in Ukraine’s eastern strategic logistics hub of Pokrovsk have just a week or two to evacuate as Russian troops press towards the city, an official said on Monday.
