I find the article interesting because it tries to give an explanation on why is Ukraine holding this hard on Pokrovsk, even if the city is not a strategic objective in the conflict.
The reason is that while on the rest of the front causalities are 2:1, 3:1 or even 1:1 there they are consistently 4:1, and are keeping an enormous amount of Russian men busy, earning the Ukrainians time, which is the most important thing to them at the moment

it’s wild how much strategy in this war seems to be about time and attrition instead of territory itself

There is no specific reason to hold on to Pokrovsk, Ukrainian policy has *always* been to fight tooth and nail for every meter, sometimes it’s worth it (toretsk, siversk) and sometimes it’s not (bakhmut, sudzha, avdiivka).
“Cepa” is not a particularly unbiased source, quite the opposite
