Russia orders the evacuation of Nova Kakhovka in the face of a possible Ukrainian advance attempt across the Dnieper
The head of the Russian military-civilian administration of the occupied city of Nova Kajovka, in the Kherson region, has ordered the immediate evacuation of the population and the authorities before the possible arrival of the Ukrainian military in this city, on the shore east of the Dnieper River, provided they manage to cross a bridge badly damaged by the fighting.
“Today, the Administration is the number one target of terrorist attacks by the Ukrainian Armed Forces,” Pavel Filipchuk explained in an emergency speech collected by the Russian agency TASS, who has warned that the town could be the scene of ” hostilities or shelling” from the other side of the river.
The town and its surroundings are now becoming fortified areas to resist the Ukrainian advance while the citizens begin a very long journey east, towards the Russian town of Tuapsé, in the Krasnodar region, 500 kilometers west of Kherson and passing the Crimean peninsula.
