Ukraine is expected soon to launch a counteroffensive, which has been eagerly anticipated, to retake territory held by Russia. This includes the Zaporizhzhia area.
Yevgeny Balitsy, the Russian-installed governor of the Russia-controlled Zaporizhzhia Region, stated on his Telegram channel that “(the evacuees have) already been placed at the temporary accommodation center for residents of front-line territory of the Zaporizhzhia Region in Berdiansk”.
