In addition, the Ukrainian police began, on Saturday, to remove mines from Jiusson the day after their restoration and documentation of “crimes” attributed to Russia in the large city of the south of the country, which is a major setback for the Kremlin.
In order to set up road checkpoints and record “Russian occupier crimes,” about 200 police officers were dispatched to Jiusson, according to National Police Commander Igor Clemenko.
The city’s residents also alerted to the presence of mines left by the Russian forces, and urged them to “move with caution. ” Clemenko claims that a police officer was hurt while clearing mines out of a Jiusson building.
traumatic blow
It is noteworthy that the Russian Ministry of Defense had announced, on Friday, that it had completed the withdrawal of its forces from Jiusson and its retreat to the West Bank of the Dnibro River, confirming that it had not incurred any losses in lives or equipment during the withdrawal.
This withdrawal directed a painful blow, and showed a major setback for the Russian army, especially as it is the first major Ukrainian city that fell in his hand since the conflict erupted on February 24.
Together with Donetsk, Lugansk, and Zaborigia, it also forms the group of four territories that the Kremlin annexed in late September 2022.
Also, its geographical location is of special importance, as the region is located on the borders of the Dnibro Petrovsk and Nicolav regions, and it has land borders with Crimea in the south, while overlooking the Black Sea in the southwest, and in the southeast on the Azov Sea.
Since the start of the Russian operation on February 24, this is the third significant Russian withdrawal.
In the face of ferocious Ukrainian resistance, Russia was forced to give up its attempt to seize Kyiv in the spring, and it was eventually driven out of the Karkiv region (northeast) in September.
Joy’s alert has been issued for certain Ukrainian regions, including Kyiv and Zelinski: Russia has destroyed Khamson’s infrastructure.
