Quote: "Banks will continue to operate in Pokrovsk until the end of the week, but only ATMs will be available beginning Monday," he said.

According to him, there are still 38,000 people and about 1,900 children in the city.

"All of them should evacuate to safer regions of Ukraine," Filashkin believes.

• On 19 August, Serhii Dobriak, Head of Pokrovsk City Military Administration, noted that considering the pace of the Russian army's advance, the residents of Pokrovsk have one to two weeks to evacuate.
