A banner reading ëPokrovsk - Strength of the Cossack familyí on one of the destroyed buildings. Pokrovsk, a Ukrainian town of 60,000, is gradually being depopulated just as Bakhmut and Severodonetsk were as the frontline of Russian invasion is crawling about 9 km from its borders. However, the worst is yet to come for the citizens. Most of them have nowhere to go, so they choose to stay in the city. Official communiques say that the evacuation organized by the government is going well. However, it is the volunteers who encourage and evacuate people, it is to them that locals turn for help, while the town itself is shelled every hour. The town faces a real test over the next few months. We look at the last signs of regular Pokrovsk life, which take place from 11am to 3pm due to the curfew imposed by the Ukrainian authorities.
