According to the official, the loss of Pokrovsk will not lead to the collapse of the Ukrainian defense.
Russian troops now control over 95% of Pokrovsk in the Donetsk region. A senior NATO official stated this at a briefing at the Alliance’s headquarters, responding to a question from a DW correspondent .
According to the official, Ukraine is currently conducting an organized withdrawal of its troops from Pokrovsk. However, he noted that some Ukrainian forces still remain in the city.
The official recalled to reporters that Russian troops were tasked with capturing Pokrovsk over a year ago. However, progress on this goal was extremely slow, and Moscow suffered enormous losses.
The NATO representative also told reporters that during this time, the Ukrainians were able to take the necessary measures to ensure that the loss of the city would not have had as great a strategic impact as it would have had it happened earlier. He added that if Pokrovsk is completely captured, Russia will likely use the city for logistics and as a staging area for attacks on other cities in the Donetsk region.
The official also assured that the fall of Pokrovsk would not lead to the inevitable collapse of Ukraine’s defenses. He added that the Alliance is confident that Ukraine will be able to continue to resist Russian aggression.
The official also shared that NATO does not yet have precise data on Russian casualties during the capture of Pokrovka. However, he indicated that in 2025, the Russians lost a total of approximately 360,000 soldiers.

Deep State tells a different story. Once they confirm it, I’ll believe it before believing some anonymous NATO officer probably from the US.
Right. Deep State shows a different scenario.
I imagine this expert received his info from the Pentagon via the kremlin.
Most likely the Pentagon. How low we’ve sunk!
Check the post I just published. The image shows the headline that Pokrovsk was ready to fall. The date was August 22, 2024.
