Kyiv threatens Bakhmut counterattack as Zelensky visits Kherson FMTNews FMTWorld
Bakhmut is virtually emptied of civilians over months of fighting between Russian and Ukrainian forces.
Bakhmut — an eastern town which once had an estimated population of around 70,000 people — has virtually emptied of civilians over months of fierce fighting between Russian and Ukrainian forces. Zelensky on Wednesday recognised troops had a “difficult” task as he visited the eastern front near Bakhmut.On Thursday, he said he was on a “working trip to Kherson region” — the southern region still partly controlled by the Russians, who are dug in on the eastern bank of the Dnipro river and routinely shell Kherson city, killing civilians.
He said local authorities were restoring essential services like electricity and water in the village and rebuilding a medical centre.“I talked to the locals about their problems and needs,” he added.
