Verdict history
| When | From | To | Why |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2026-10-30 18:00 UTC | 2026-11-03 | 2026-10-31 | Checked in the one-time pass of 30 Oct 2026: still open. The record (ev-20261027-c8vw) holds only the competing statements of Vladimir Putin and Oleksandr Syrskyi, relayed by the Kyiv Independent; no independent source shows whether Pokrovsk was encircled at the end of October 2025. Next check on the ladder from 2025-10-31 (7 days, 30 days, then quarterly). |
