Zaporizhzhia, Aug 4: The hometown of Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is looking increasingly vulnerable, coming under repeated attacks from Russian forces in recent days, with Ukraine’s southern army unit saying Russia is building a military “strike force” to target Kryvyi Rih.
Early Thursday, Ukraine’s southern military command said the situation in its operational area — where fighting is intensifying around Zelenskyy’s hometown of Kryvyi Rih as well as Zaporizhzhia to the east and Mykolaiv and Kherson to the south — is “tense and complex.”
Ukraine has warned that Russia is carrying out a “massive redeployment” of troops from the east to the south of Ukraine as it tries to defend its territorial gains against Ukraine’s attempts to reclaim occupied Kherson and areas around Zaporizhzhia. The battle for eastern Ukraine is ongoing, however, with Zelenskyy describing the situation in the Donbas as hellish, adding that Russia still has the upper hand in the region.
Kyiv has ordered the mandatory evacuation of residents in the Donbas amid intense fighting.
