Ukraine.. The Russian army takes control of a new village south of Dnepropetrovsk

The announcement came at a time when Kiev confirmed that attacks had occurred during the night in the Dnepropetrovsk region, cutting off energy supplies for more than a million people.

The advance of Russian forces in Ukraine accelerated during the fall, at a time when Ukrainian forces, weaker in terms of equipment and equipment, were having difficulty confronting them.

Area Dnepropetrovsk

Russian forces entered the Dnepropetrovsk region, located west of the Donetsk region, in August last year.

It is not among the four regions in eastern and southern Ukraine (Donetsk, Lugansk, Zaporizhzhya, and Kherson) that the Kremlin announced its annexation.

Moscow occupies parts of the Kharkiv region (northwest), in addition to the enclave it controls in the Dnepropetrovsk region.

Evacuation Thousands of children

Ukraine announced last week that it had ordered the evacuation of thousands of children and their families from areas on the front line in the Zaporizhya and Dnepropetrovsk regions.

Russian President Vladimir Putin stressed in recent weeks that Moscow intends to seize the rest of eastern Ukraine, whether by force or diplomacy.

In February 2022, Russia launched its comprehensive military operation in Ukraine.
