MADRID, 6 Nov. (EUROPA PRESS) –
The deputy head of Russia’s administration in the Ukrainian region of Jerson, Kirill Stremousov, confirmed on Sunday a new concentration of Ukrainian tanks at the entrance of the country’s eastern territory, right now the main epicenter of the war in Ukraine.
“Many team units are concentrating, with more and more armored vehicles, tanks on the rise,” he declared in a video posted on his Telegram channel and collected by the TASS agency.
Meanwhile, the process of evacuating the residents of Kherson to the left bank of the Dnieper River, under Russian control, continues in the face of advancing Ukrainian forces.
“People living in Kherson City can still freely leave the right bank of the river,” he said.
Russia completed a first phase of the evacuation a week ago, although a few days later the pro-Russian authorities decided to extend the evacuation perimeter an additional 15 kilometers.
Meanwhile, the Ukrainian Army continues to advance in the region, annexed to Russia at the end of September after a referendum not recognized by much of the international community, and they even announced that the Russian flag had stopped flying on the facade of the building of the provincial administration.
However, the kyiv authorities already stressed on Thursday that they did not fully trust the announced Russian withdrawal, and did not rule out that Moscow could be plotting some “trick” with which to force some kind of “provocation” that would serve to accuse Ukraine of attack the civilian population.
