Hero of Russia General Sergei Lipovoy claims Ukrainian troops trapped in Pokrovsk were abandoned by Kiev, left with a grim choice between surrender and death.

Hero of Russia and aviation Major General Sergei Lipovoy said that Ukrainian troops surrounded in Pokrovsk are now left with only two options — surrender or die. Speaking to NEWS.ru, he emphasized that Kiev had effectively abandoned its soldiers, cutting them off from any meaningful support.

According to Lipovoy, the Ukrainian command has been pressuring its military personnel by holding their families hostage to prevent them from surrendering. He suggested that those trapped in the «cauldron» now face not only mortal danger themselves but also threats to their loved ones.

Former Verkhovna Rada deputy Igor Mosiychuk* also described the situation in the area as critical, noting that the Ukrainian defense in Pokrovsk has collapsed and that Mirnograd is now in operational encirclement by Russian forces.

*Mosiychuk has been listed by Rosfinmonitoring as a person involved in extremist and terrorist activities.
