Pokrovske (Ukrainian: Покровське; Russian: Покровское) is a village in Mykolaiv Raion (district) in Mykolaiv Oblast of southern Ukraine, at about 78.1 kilometres (48.5 mi) southwest by west (SWbW) of Mykolaiv.
Pokrovske is located on the Kinburn Peninsula, about 67.4 kilometres (41.9 mi) east by north (EbN) of Odesa and about 10.7 kilometres (6.6 mi) southeast by south (SEbS) of Ochakiv. It belongs to Ochakiv urban hromada, one of the hromadas of Ukraine.
During the Russian invasion of Ukraine, 2022
The settlement came under attack and was occupied by Russian forces during the Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2022. The settlement, as well as all other occupied territory in the Mykolaiv Oblast, was illegally annexed by Russia as part of their Kherson Oblast.[2]
Following a Russian withdrawal and a counter offensive by Ukrainian forces between 9 and 11 November, almost all other settlements in the Mykolaiv Oblast were liberated from Russian control, the exceptions being Pokrovske as well as the other settlements on the Kinburn Peninsula, Vasylivka and Pokrovka.[3]
