There are still 7,300 residents remaining in Pokrovsk. The pace of evacuation has slowed due to the worsening security situation.
Points of attention
Over 7,300 residents are still residing in Pokrovsk amidst the worsening security situation and active shelling by occupiers.
The pace of evacuation has slowed down significantly, with only 5 to 10 people leaving per day, following disruptions in gas and electricity supply in early December.
The occupiers have intensified activities in the Pokrovsk direction, posing challenges for the Ukrainian Armed Forces in dislodging them from the city.
The escalating conflict has led to deliberate shelling of civilian infrastructure and utility workers, highlighting the dire circumstances faced by the residents.
The battle for control of Pokrovsk remains intense, with Russia concentrating a significant number of troops in the area, making it one of the most challenging sections of the front.
Evacuation from Pokrovsk slowed down
This was reported by the head of the Pokrovskaya City Military Administration, Serhiy Dobryak.
The security situation here is deteriorating, because they have been constantly firing artillery in recent weeks, weather-based KABs, and FPV drones constantly — it's just torture.
He noted that 7,300 civilians currently live in Pokrovsk.
According to him, Russian troops have been deliberately shelling municipal equipment for the past seven weeks.
They deliberately "hunted" those small 5-ton trucks that delivered food to stores, bread machines. Cynical. We understand that the operator of the FPV drone sees where he is flying and who he is hitting. By the way, our utility worker from the heating network also died from an FPV drone — he was driving to work. These cases are not isolated, these are terrible statistics about the hunting of FPV drones on our people. There is a small area, 15%, where they have not yet reached, but it is a matter of time.
He added that currently there are only a few shops left in the city, a few pharmacies, and several specialists from the territorial center are working to persuade the elderly to leave the community. Municipal workers are taking out the garbage, and a funeral service is also operating.
Battles for Pokrovsk
For the past few months, the occupiers have been trying to break through the defenses in the Pokrovsky direction. This area is one of the most difficult sections of the front.
As previously reported by the "Khortytsia" military district, Russia has 150,000 soldiers in the Pokrovskoye, Kurakhivskoye, and Vremivskoye directions. In particular, in the Pokrovskoye area, the occupiers have concentrated about 70,000 soldiers.
According to Viktor Tregubov, spokesman for the Khortytsia Military District, the Russians are trying to weaken Ukrainian logistics in Pokrovsk, but it is currently unlikely that the Ukrainian Armed Forces will be able to dislodge them from the city. The enemy may try to force the Ukrainian troops to withdraw their forces from Pokrovsk, but this looks like a difficult task.
As noted by the Ministry of Environment and Natural Resources, satellite monitoring revealed the spread of fuel oil near the coast of Russian-occupied Crimea as a result of the accident of Russian tankers in the Sea of Azov.
Points of attention
Fuel oil pollution near the coast of Russian-occupied Crimea is a result of accidents involving Russian tankers in the Sea of Azov, severely impacting the region's ecosystem.
The spill has contaminated a significant area of 1,000 km² along the coast, affecting wildlife such as dolphins and birds, emphasizing the urgent need for effective cleanup strategies.
Satellite monitoring reveals the spread of fuel oil slicks along the southern coast of Crimea, highlighting the ongoing environmental disaster and the necessity for stringent safety measures in maritime transportation.
Cleanup efforts involving hundreds of personnel and specialized equipment are underway to address the contamination, with areas like Lyubimovka, Orlivka, and Kacha among the affected regions.
The fuel oil redistribution caused by currents and wind poses a serious threat to Crimea's region, requiring prompt mitigation actions to prevent further damage to the ecosystem and wildlife.
What is known about the pollution of the Crimean coast with fuel oil from Russian tankers after the accident in the Sea of Azov
Sentinel-1 satellite monitoring on January 4 revealed pollution in the form of oil slicks measuring 2 km² near the city of Feodosia and 0.25 km² near Cape Takil.
Probable effects of pollution were detected between the settlements of Partenit and Sudak.
Already on January 5, satellite images confirmed the spread of fuel oil stains along the southern coast of Crimea.
Near Sevastopol and Kachi, 15 km long fuel oil stains were discovered.
The total area of the contaminated territory near the coast of Crimea is currently 1,000 km².
What is known about the fuel oil spill near Crimea?
In temporarily occupied Crimea, fuel oil pollution resulting from the December accident involving Russian oil tankers was discovered on the beaches of Lyubimovka and Orlivka, located west of Sevastopol.
On the afternoon of January 4, it became known that fuel oil had already ended up on the beach in Kacha near Sevastopol — this is even further north than Lyubimivka and Orlivka, where fuel oil was discovered this morning.
On January 2, two new areas of oil pollution were discovered in temporarily occupied Crimea after the accident of two Russian tankers in the Kerch Strait.
During monitoring in the Kerch city district, in the area of the city beach (Arshintsevskaya Spit), minor contamination of a sandy area 1.8 km long was detected. In the Leninsky district near Lake Tobechik, the total length of contamination is 2.1 km.
According to the Russian Emergencies Ministry, about 150 people and 48 pieces of equipment are involved in the elimination of the consequences of the environmental disaster. Specialists are cleaning the area and removing the soil.
