Ukraine wants to recapture the Russian-occupied territories with a huge contingent of soldiers: President Selenskyj therefore called on his compatriots in the affected areas in the south to flee in time – if necessary, this should also go to Crimea.
As Russian troops advance slowly but surely into Donbass in eastern Ukraine, Ukrainian Defense Minister Oleksiy Reznikov has announced a large-scale offensive in the south of the country. President Zelenskyy ordered the recapture of the areas occupied by Russian troops, the minister said in an interview.
About a million soldiers are deployed in the counteroffensive. The coastal areas in particular are of great importance to the Ukrainian economy.
Escape to Crimea if necessary
President Zelenskyy called on the inhabitants of these areas to flee in time so that they do not get stuck between the fronts. Deputy Prime Minister Irina Vereshchuk said that especially people from the cities of Kherson and Zaporizhzhya should leave their homes and go to safety.
If necessary, even towards the Black Sea peninsula of Crimea, which was annexed by Russia in 2014. This is necessary so as not to endanger people during the offensive.
