According to Moscow, Russian forces have re -occupied Sidza, the largest town that Ukraine once occupied in the Karak area, according to Moscow, threatening Kiev’s only regional bargaining chip amidst pressure to talk about the end of the war.
The Russian Ministry of Defense said Thursday, “During the offensive operations, the North Military Group units released the settlements of Melvoy, Podul and Sidza.”
The US -based conflict monitoring Institute for Study of War (ISW) has also said that footage from the land has indicated that Russian forces have occupied Sidza and moved towards South Zolishaka, a settlement in the northwest of Sidza.
His recovery will represent a major symbolic victory for Russia. Although Sadzha is a small town, which has a population of about 5,000 5,000 people before the Ukraine invasion, it was still one of the only population -organized cities organized by Ukraine.
Speaking on a regular call with reporters on Thursday, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov expressed confidence that all parts of the region underway under Ukraine would be released soon.
“President (Vladimir Putin) said he needs to be done as soon as possible. (It will look) Most of the time is necessary to save the maximum number of our military and ordinary citizens. But there is no doubt that the area will soon be freely liberated, “Peskov asked how long it may take to push Ukrainian Armed Forces from the area.
Putin made a surprising visit to the region on Wednesday. After wearing a military uniform in a video broadcast by Russian state television, the Russian president told Frontline Tropes that Moscow aims to “completely liberate” as soon as possible during the first trip to the Western region after Ukraine’s unexpected attack last year.
Putin’s caregiver visit was designed to promote morale as Russian forces were designed to move forward on the last remnants of Ukraine holding Ukraine within Russia, a day after peace talks between US and Ukrainian officials, which accepted the ceasefire in 30 days.
Meanwhile, US President Donald Trump said on Wednesday that the ball is now in Putin’s court when US representatives “we now speak” with Russia, so that the ceasefire proposal can be discussed.
“We have to see. It is up to Russia now,” Trump told reporters at the Oval Office, because he refused to comment on whether he had scheduled a meeting with the Russian leader.
This is a developing story and will be updated.
