Russia Evacuates Numerous Communities in Zaporizhia As The Front Lines Of The Ukraine War Continue to Rage.
Artillery battles intensified in Zaporizhia in southern Ukraine. Now Russia wants to evacuate dozens of settlements on the front line.
FRANKFURT - Ukraine insists its counter-offensive in the Ukraine war is about to begin. Clashes with Kremlin chief Vladimir Putin's troops along the entire front line continue. Russian authorities in Moscow-occupied Ukraine's Zaporizhia region have now announced "voluntary evacuations" of 18 settlements near the southern front line. They want to remove about 70,000 people from the front and resettle deeper in the Ukrainian region, the Russian agency Tass reported, citing authorities.

Moscow-appointed governor Yevgeny Balitskyj blamed the Ukrainian army for this, according to the Interfax agency. They have intensified the artillery fire in the last few days. "We cannot risk people's safety," he said.
"The criminals from Kiev are targeting civilian infrastructure," the Russian agency Ria Novosti quoted the governor as saying. Therefore, Russia is closely monitoring Kiev's "methods of war" and making decisions about the region accordingly.

The necessary funds will be made available to the population to be evacuated and payments will be made, and accommodation and sufficient food will be guaranteed. First of all, children will be evacuated together with their parents. This would eventually be followed by the elderly, people with disabilities and hospital patients.
In September 2022, Putin illegally annexed Zaporizhia together with Cherson, Luhansk and Donetsk. In November, however, his soldiers had to withdraw from Cherson. The Ukrainian army was also able to recapture areas in Luhansk. The eponymous capital of the Zaporizhia region is still under Ukrainian control. (bb)
