>Pokrovsk is the new Backhmut
Yes, but not in the way you're thinking of. Remember back when Bakhmut was supposed to be the lynchpin of the Ukrainians' entire defensive line and it's capture would lead to the front collapsing making the five digit number of deaths the Russians suffered there well worth it? It's 29 months later, and the fighting has reached the central part of Chasiv Yar (picrel).
