By a decree of the President of Ukraine dated August 23, 2025, Volodymyr Kolosov was appointed head of the Pokrovsk District State Administration.
Deputy Head of the Regional State Administration Yuriy Kliuchka introduced the new head to the staff of the Pokrovsk District State Administration and military administrations of the Pokrovsk district.
"It is very important that the new head of the district is a person who knows the current situation on the ground, has extensive experience and is ready to work for people. The primary task for Volodymyr Kolosov now is to assist the Defense Forces, as the Pokrovske direction is one of the most active. The enemy has sent significant forces here, but I am confident that by working together we will be able to protect our cities and prevent the occupiers from advancing," the deputy head of the region emphasized.
Volodymyr Kolosov, 62, is a native of Pokrovsk district. He began his career as a laborer in a mine construction department, and later worked in the police. In May 2021, he was appointed deputy head, and in September 2022, he was appointed first deputy head of the Pokrovsk District State Administration.
