Pokrovsk, Donetsk region. Russian army is close.
Evacuation teams are persuading people to leave. Some are refusing, everyone has their own reasons.
Below, you can read excerpts from several conversations of Ukrainska Pravda reporters with residents of Pokrovsk and the surrounding villages, which continue to be approached by the frontline.
"My son died near Kupiansk, I buried him here. How can I leave?"
"We will go to Pavlohrad, show our son that we are alive, and come back. Olichka, you will take us back, right? Will you?"
"First we were under occupation in Melitopol, then we went to our parents in Pokrovsk district, and now we have to leave this place too... We'll go to Zaporizhzhia."
"Are you angels? Take my neighbor out, she has cysts in her stomach, she needs to have surgery."
Unfortunately, not all residents of Pokrovsk can be persuaded to leave, volunteers and reporters say. Even those who leave requests for evacuation refuse.

Trump’s Super Bowl visit is expected to cost taxpayers tens of millions of dollars for travel, protection, and more.
Where’s DOGE? Where’s the cutting of unnecessary spending here?
They only want to target programs and agencies that actually help people, not Trump’s vacations.
"Our tank drove over the guys and got the fu*k out of there! Guys are 200 [killed]!"
In Russian-occupied Selydove a Russian tank crushed a car with Russian soldiers for no reason whatsoever and drove away.
No wonder Russia is "running out" of North Koreans and not just them.
Hey Elon, Can we at least cut $3,400,000 Taxpayer-funded Trump golf outings at his own resort before we cut humanitarian aid to starving children via USAID?
🔥 Russia: Partisans in the occupied Republic of Karelia torched a railroad relay cabinet to disrupt military logistics.
Karelia is adjacent to Finland, between Saint Petersburg and Murmansk.
Yes. We have a major constitutional crisis.
Americans did not fight and die to protect democracy so that the richest man in the world could single-handedly dismantle agencies that protect workers, consumers & children.
Together, we can and will defeat Trump’s authoritarianism.
"A lot of guys died in those assaults. Many were wounded. You had to go through all circles of hell to get here. Battles were fought for every house. It was local Stalingrad," the Russian says.
The Russian army has turned the village of Avdiivske in the Pokrovsk district of Donetsk region into ruins, razed it to the ground, as well as dozens of other villages and towns in Donetsk region.
Trump got heckled and boo'ed so bad. I have never seen anything like it. Biggest football day and the president got boo'ed like a bitch.
Well, done New Orleans 👏
💥 Russia: Swarms of Ukrainian drones are attacking two oil refineries in Krasnodar region in Afipsky and Slavyansk-on-Kuban.
This drone hit a building in Krasnodar, likely due to electronic warfare interference. So far no information on the success of the operation.
Wow!! This whole speech is INCREDIBLE:
Richard Gere, "We have a bully and a thug who is President of the United States…
But it's not just in the US, it's everywhere"
"Authoritarianism takes us all over"
"We have to be vigilant. We have to be alert. We have to be energetic. We have to be brave. We have to be courageous"
"And everyone who is watching this.. We have to be willing to stand up, tell the truth, be honest"
"There's a place in all of our lives for basic kindness, for basic love, and understanding"
DAMN RIGHT.
RT so every single American sees this.
