Pokrovka came under attack and was occupied by Russian forces during the Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2022. The invasion occurred as a result of the escalating Russo-Ukrainian War. The village, as well as all other occupied territory in the Mykolaiv Oblast, was annexed by Russia as part of their Kherson Oblast.
Following a Russian withdrawal and a counter offensive by Ukrainian forces between November 9th and 11th, almost all settlements in the Mykolaiv Oblast were retaken by Ukraine. The exceptions are Pokrovka as well as the other settlements on the Kiburn Peninsula, Pokrovske and Vasylivka.[5]
Pokrovka is located within the Biloberezhia Sviatoslav National Park, in the Dnieper estuary.
