On January 4th, the stele at the entrance to Pokrovsk was restored, which had been destroyed by the Russians during shelling with KABs the day before. The municipal services installed a new, lighter version of the stele. All the work was completed in just one day. The new blue-and-yellow stele now stands proudly in Pokrovsk, symbolizing that the city cannot be broken by the enemy from Russia.
The news about the restoration of the stele at the entrance to Pokrovsk was reported by the publication "Suspilne. Donbas", citing the head of the military-civil administration, Serhiy Dobryak. The official stated that the municipal services worked on the restoration. They managed to complete all the tasks and install a new, slightly lighter stele in just one day, on January 4th. The blue-and-yellow stele is once again a prominent sight at the entrance to Pokrovsk.
As is known, on January 2nd, the Russians attacked Pokrovsk with KABs. As a result of the strike, the stele at the entrance to the city was damaged. The structure fell, and one of the letters rolled onto the road. Soldier Pavlo Vyshybaba picked up the letter "P" from the road. He stated that Ukrainians are paying too high a price for Pokrovsk to endure and not just remain on maps. Therefore, Vyshybaba says he will keep this letter and pass it on to a future war museum, so that future generations remember the feats of Ukrainian defenders.
