Russia is asking families with children and the elderly in Russian-controlled front-line areas in southern Ukraine to evacuate due to increased Ukrainian air strikes.
– In recent days, the enemy has intensified air strikes on settlements close to the front line, Yevgeny Paletsky, who leads the pro-Russian separatist authorities in the Zaporizhia province, wrote in social media.
He also wrote that people with disabilities and people in hospital will be evacuated soon.
Balitskij further writes that there will be evacuations from 18 places, including Enerhodar, where the Zaporizhzhya power plant is located. The nuclear power plant is the largest in Europe and has been occupied by Russian forces since the outbreak of the war. Now it is close to the front line, which caused great concern.
Ukraine has been preparing a counterattack against the Russians for several months now. Ukrainian authorities now say he is just around the corner.
