The city of Pokrovsk in eastern Ukraine has found itself at the forefront of the ongoing conflict with Russia, with residents being forced to endure constant bombardments and fleeing their homes in droves. France 24 correspondent Emmanuelle Chaze, reporting from Kyiv, highlights the dire situation faced by civilians in Pokrovsk, who are bearing the brunt of Russia’s invasion.
As Russian forces continue their relentless push westwards, the people of Pokrovsk are left in a state of chaos and uncertainty. The once bustling streets now lie deserted, with the sound of explosions ringing through the air. Families are torn apart, homes destroyed, and lives shattered as the conflict escalates.
The humanitarian crisis in Pokrovsk is a stark reminder of the devastating impact of war on innocent civilians. As the world watches in horror, it is crucial to remember the human cost of these conflicts and to support those who are suffering the most.
The people of Pokrovsk are resilient, but they cannot bear the burden of war alone. It is imperative that the international community comes together to provide aid and support to those who need it most. The world must not turn a blind eye to the suffering of the civilians caught in the crossfire of this brutal conflict.

Soldiers on the front are bearing the brunt, the russian military targets them specifically. They are almost exclusevly male and forced to be there, while women and children are free to leave at any time.
Boris Johnson crested hell in Europe and especially Ukraine. ICC must issue a warrant against him now
Russia is advancing? I thought Ukraine was winning as per Joe and Kamala.
Oops, I forgot, it's a stalemate.
Blame Zelensky the acting actor
We are winning
Those flying shovels working 😅😅
Already Ukraine has failed and finished. Rest of news is western propaganda.
Evil UK and USA, see what you have done, seperated two brothers for your evil designs, the good lord should definetly teach you a lesson, Amen.
Remember how Russia was wining in khakiv but later they were driven away so wait tables will turn to Russians in pokrosk
Russians are dismantled and know that since Russia is ruled by an Autocratic leader all media house in Russia is being monitored no news to talk bad of a country
There's a thing called spell check, it would help with 'resdients'
What about the civilians in gaza ❤
This war needs to stop!
Same channel same expert ,same journalist said the Russian is loosing tge ground ,they running out of weapons, running out of man ,amo ,etc etc , those morrons got Ukrainian blood on there hand there lies ,propaganda destroyed a country thousands lives gone , day by day a country that size decimated to ashes economy depend on charities, no port airport ,half of population fled list goes on and on .
It is incredible that European leaders do not realize that the United States is fomenting this war because it is far from their territories. The Americans are supporting and sustaining this war because no American is on the front lines, and solely with the intention of weakening Russia's strength. While all this is happening, Europe's economy is becoming increasingly fragile, thousands of Ukrainians are being exterminated, and Ukraine no longer exists as a nation.
If you were not promoted the forceful remoubal of Yakunovick from power in 2014 . Nobody would have to die at all ,now millions of didplaced people . One million deaths and the high possibility of hundred of millions desapearing along with
Europe and North America from the face of Earth .
Zelensky is a comedian 😅😅😅😅
In pokrovsk and all the other cities in iraq. Afghanistan, gaza and so on. People pls there is no good way to fight a war. Its only bad and worse
A victory plan is in the works. Just trust the Masters, sorry, the Partners!
I thought Ukraine was winning 🤔
Explain why some people decide to stay in Pokrovsk. Before the war there was a substantial ethnic russian population. There were also executions of ethnic russians.
What about civilians in Kursk?
Kursk has been a disaster for Ukraine and the western media should cover it as such.
What happened to Kursk experiment? Seems like it didn't succeed in pulling Russia troops from Pokrovsk to defend it
Seems that those Pokrovsk residents don’t believe in Zelensky’s “victory plan”
do you people really think we can pay off Mr P with silver and gold bars
What are we talking about here,I seriously thought the Russians were running out of everything,better not have been lying all this time😢
The western media must apologize to the public for all the lies 😢
The Grayzone
Zelensky is pushing to strike Moscow
Glenn Greenwald w/Lee Fang – NY Times Pro-War exposed
residents dont run away in pokrovsk, according to zelensky ukraine is strong and winning in front lines..😂😂😂
What did the Ukrainian NATO think they will get when they signed up to be the US’ and UK’s butchers to bleed the Russians, wasn’t that the job, who didn’t hear about!!!😢😢😢
Stop sugar coating your report by saying falling debris instead of saying direct hit
Just getting a seat before all the krembots rushes in to earn a ruble by spewing inane and hateful nonsense
Kyiv has very big problems. And the issue is not even in the breakthrough of Russian troops in one place or another, but in the fact that the pressure on his front is going on immediately along its large length. First of all, due to the total superiority in fire weapons (artillery and aviation). This leads to large losses of the Ukrainian Armed Forces (UAF) personnel and a drop in morale among recruits (who are in the majority). As a result, the UAF has many deserters, and many strongholds (according to local officers) simply have no one to defend (instead of 10-15 people, there are often 4-6). And sometimes there is no one at all (when the entire garrison of the stronghold retreats, and there is simply no one to replace it).
This is where RAF progress here comes from. If we look at the points, there are battles for the spoil heap of the Selidovskaya mine, which RAF are bypassing from the north and south, taking in pincers. And yesterday there was simply the most powerful artillery and air preparation in the Tsukurino area. Today an assault on this settlement is possible.
And also, the assault on Gornyak continues. Slowly but surely RAF are moving forward here.
There are battles in the area of Ostroy (completely occupied by RAF) and colony No. 82 (which RAF also completely occupied by the evening), which poses a threat to the UAF garrison in the area of Maksimilianovka.
In this way, powerful pressure is created on the entire front, which, in combination with the flanking (mechanized) and penetrating actions of RAF assault aircraft (in small groups of 4-5 people), breaks the UAF’s defenses and forces him to surrender line after line.
News has been coming from the Ugledar direction since the morning – the Russian Armed Forces (RAF), after a long warm-up, have begun to envelop the Ugledar military agglomeration. Since the idea of taking the city head-on has apparently been rejected by RAF General Staff, a decision has been made to envelop the city and a large area behind it by routes to Bogoyavlenka . There are two directions: n. Prichistovka – Bogoyavlenka and Vodyanoye – Bogoyavlenka. This strategic move will give Syrsky's headquarters the opportunity and time to make their move before the small group in the city is surrounded. They cannot leave the city for the field, and staying in the city means death.
