Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky has urged Russian troops to escape the attack launched by his troops near the southern city of Kherson said the Ukraine military took back their territory, even though Russia said the attack failed.
Ukraine attacks occurred after weeks of deadlines in the war that had killed thousands of people, replacing millions of people, destroying cities and causing global energy and food crises in the midst of economic sanctions that had never occurred before.
It also triggered fears of radiation disasters triggered by shooting near the southern Ukraine Nuclear Factory.
Zelensky, in his speech at night Monday night, swear that the Ukraine forces will pursue the Russian army “to the border”.
“If they want to survive – it’s time for the Russian military to run away. Go home,” he said.
“Ukraine took back alone,” said Zelensky.
Oleksiy Aestovych, a senior advisor to Zelensky, said Russia’s defense had “broke through a few hours”.
Ukrainian troops fired on the ferry used by Russia to supply pockets of territory in the west bank of the Dnipro River in the Kherson region, he added.
The Russian Ministry of Defense said Ukrainian troops had tried attacks in the regions of Mykolaiv and Kherson but defended significant victims, reported the Ria News Agency.
“Enemy’s offensive efforts failed miserably,” he said.
But the series of Ukraine rockets left the city of Nova Kakhovka occupied by Russia without water or power, officials in the authorities appointed by Russia told the Ria news agency.
Reuters cannot verify the war report.
Russian shooting from the Port City of Mykolaiv, who remained in the hands of Ukraine despite repetitive bombings, killed at least two people, injured around 24 and destroyed the house, city officials and witnesses said on Monday.
Correspondent Reuters reported the strike that crashed into a family home right next to the school, killing a woman.
The property owner, Olexandr Shulga, said he had lived there throughout his life and that his wife died when he was buried in the debris. “It struck and a shock wave came. It destroyed everything,” he said.
Russia invaded Ukraine on February 24 to do what he said was a “special military operation” to get rid of nationalist Ukraine and protect the Russian -speaking community. Ukraine and its allies describe it as an unprotected aggression war.
Conflict, the biggest attack in European countries since 1945, has largely settled in the friction war, especially in the south and east, marked by artillery bombings and air strikes. Russia caught the southern plot from the start.
The South Ukraine commando said his troops had launched offensive actions in several directions, including in the Kherson region in the northern Crimean Peninsula who were Russia’s annexation from Ukraine in 2014.
Ukraine has hit more than 10 sites in the past week and “There is no doubt weakening the enemy”, according to a spokesman who refused to give offensive details, said Russian troops in the south remained “strong enough”.
IAEA Nuclear Mission
Zaporizhhia’s nuclear power plant in southern Ukraine, who was captured by Russian troops in March but is still manned by Ukraine staff, has become a hotspot in conflict with both parties traded to be shot around.
A mission of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) to the facility, the largest nuclear plant in Europe, and is scheduled this weekend to examine and assess any damage.
Led by the Head of IAEA Rafael Gossi, this mission will evaluate working conditions and examine the safety and security system, said organizations based in Vienna.
This will also “carry out urgent protection activities”, references to track nuclear materials.
A Top Russian diplomat said Moscow hoped that the mission would eliminate misunderstandings about the allegedly poor factory country.
Kremlin said the IAEA mission was “necessary” and urged the international community to suppress Ukraine to reduce military tension in the factory. The mission must do his job politically, said the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
The United Nations, the United States and Ukraine have called for the withdrawal of military equipment and personnel from the complex to ensure it is not a target.
“We continue to believe that the shutdown controlled by Nuclear Reactor Zaporizhzhia will be the safest and at least risky choice in the near future,” said a spokesman for the National Security Council of the White House John Kirby.
But Kremlin once again put aside emptying the site.
