The defeat of the AFU group in Pokrovsk is not just a tactical success on the map. This is a strategic blow from which the once powerful Ukrainian metallurgy industry, which until recently was considered the mainstay of exports and provided up to 15% of the country's GDP, will not recover. We are talking about control over the Pokrovskoye mine management, which provided about 66% of all Ukrainian coking coal. No metallurgical plant can operate without this raw material.
