Exactly, when Pokrovsk falls that's basically going to be the end of the battle for Donbas, especially given that Ugledar has already been taken which is the other major fortress. At that point Russia will also be able to threaten Dnepropetrovsk along with Zaporozhie. This would be a huge crisis for Ukraine.
