Today, Thursday, the Russian military operation in Ukraine is still going on as troops of the Russian army take complete control of the territories that have been freed and attack the positions of the Ukrainian forces, while the Ukrainian forces work to retake the Moscow-controlled cities.
Oleksandr Starukh, the governor of the Ukrainian region of Zaporizhia, reported the most recent developments early on Thursday. He said that the bombing that hit the area during the night and resulted in the demolition or destruction of several residential buildings also caused fires to start and injuries to occur.
Fires started to spread throughout the city as a result of the bombing, Staruch stated on the Telegram app. “There could be victims. People are already being extracted from the rubble by rescuers “Added he.
Volodymyr Zelensky, the president of Ukraine, declared that his troops had been successful in retaking many villages from the alleged “false referendum districts in Kherson.”
According to the Ukrainian president, Russia is accountable for its deeds and will be brought before a Ukrainian court and the world community.
The British Ministry of Defense concurred that Kyiv had achieved real progress after the Ukrainian president declared that his army had made “rapid and strong” advance in the south and had retaken “dozens” of towns from the Russians in the east.
Six drones reportedly struck a building in Bila Tserkva, which is located about 75 kilometres south of the capital city of Kyiv, according to the local governor of the Kyiv area.
Local authorities said that “suicide drones” of Iranian manufacture conducted numerous attacks on the area, igniting many fires. Several firefighters flocked to put it out in a hurry.
Despite the defeats suffered by the Russian forces in the face of the Ukrainian army’s advance, Russian President Vladimir Putin stated on Wednesday that the military situation in the recently acquired Ukrainian territory will normalise.
After achieving victories in Kherson in the south and Kharkiv in the northeast, Kyiv had earlier declared that it was making progress in Lugansk in the east of the country.
Putin stated that on September 21 he issued an order to deploy hundreds of thousands of reservists in an effort to modify the situation on the front. “We assume that the situation will settle and that we will be able to develop these areas peacefully,” he added.
Putin signed a decree on Wednesday allowing Russia to formally purchase the southern Ukrainian nuclear reactor of Zaporizhia.
Vladimir Putin signed a law to annexe Donetsk, Lugansk, Kherson, and the partially held Zaporizhia notwithstanding the withdrawal of his army.
The Russian military, for its part, stated Wednesday that it had conducted “heavy strikes” over the previous 24 hours close to Lyman in the Donetsk region, a town that had just been taken over by Ukrainian forces.
In the Kherson region, he continued, Russian soldiers “hold their positions and repel the attacks of enemy forces that are numerically superior.”
The lands that were taken would stay Russian “forever,” according to Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov, and Moscow would reclaim the areas it had lost more than a month earlier.
Putin had threatened to use nuclear weapons in the annexed regions if necessary to defend them, but neither the Ukrainian counterattack nor the delivery of Western arms to Ukraine were halted by this threat.
The remaining sector of Kharkiv that Moscow still held, the eastern bank of the Oskil River, was among the areas that Moscow withdrew from on Tuesday, according to maps issued by the Russian army, which recognised the withdrawal of its men.
