Pokrovsk will fall: ISW’s George Barros explains why | Ukraine This Week

In this episode of Ukraine This Week, George Barros from the Institute for the Study of War analyzes the battle for Pokrovsk, a city on the brink of falling after a 20-month Russian campaign. He explains that the loss, while inevitable, is not a strategic breakthrough but the result of Russia’s costly attritional advance that claimed over 100,000 casualties for just 40 km of ground. Barros details how evolving Russian tactics — small-unit infiltration, improved drone warfare and better coordination, have crippled Ukrainian logistics deep behind the front lines. Pokrovsk, once a vital hub, effectively lost its operational value months ago when its supply lines were degraded. Looking ahead, Barros predicts Russia will target Kostiantynivka and the surrounding fortress belt, while Ukraine’s key challenge will be defending its logistics and adapting to intensified drone and weather-driven threats. 🔴 Watch our 24/7 livestream - https://youtube.com/live/UFrlr77yff8 Bringing you all the latest daily news and updates, TVP World is Poland's first English-language channel where you can find world news as seen from the Polish perspective and the latest news from the CEE region.
