Russia announced Friday a partial evacuation of 18 localities under Russian occupation in the region of Zaporizhia, in the south of Ukraine, at a time when kyiv claims to be preparing an imminent offensive.
“In recent days, the enemy has increased the bombardments on the localities located in the direct vicinity of the line of contact”, indicated on Telegram Evguéni Balitski, the regional manager installed by Moscow, specifying to have requested the evacuation “temporary” in priority of “children with their parents”, elderly and disabled people as well as hospital patients.
Angry, the boss of the Wagner group threatens to withdraw from Bakhmout on May 10: “They died so that you can fatten up”
Among the 18 localities concerned is in particular Energodar, the city where the Zaporijjia nuclear power plant is located, controlled by the Russian army since March 2022 and repeatedly targeted by shots, raising fears of a disaster.
