Ukraine urges people to leave the South, prepare for a big counterattack

 A senior Ukrainian official urged hundreds of thousands of people living in the southern regions controlled by Russia to evacuate, before the army could be about to launch a large-scale counter-offensive operation. .

"Please leave quickly because the army will certainly find a way to liberate these territories," Deputy Prime Minister of Ukraine Iryna Vereshchuk on June 21 made an appeal to hundreds of thousands of people living in remote areas. The southern part of the country is controlled by Russia.


However, Ukraine is in a dilemma, so when people leave the southern regions, they may have to evacuate to the Crimea peninsula, which was annexed by Russia in 2014. According to Ms. Vereshchuk, the evacuation route The safest option for about 500,000 Ukrainians in the Kherson region is to move south, to the Crimean peninsula.


"We know that, right now, this is pretty much the only humanitarian corridor that can be used for evacuation. So evacuate, especially if you have young children," Ms. Vereshchuk said. The official suggested that from Crimea, Ukrainians could find their way to another country and contact the Ukrainian consulate there for help.


Meanwhile, Russian forces are also tightening control of the entrances to the areas they control, preventing people from evacuating to the territory controlled by Ukraine.


The above calls were made in the context that Ukraine is said to be preparing for a large-scale counter-attack plan to regain territories in the South. To date, Kiev's counter-attacks here are still limited.


Military analysts believe that Ukraine will have to wait a few more weeks to have more powerful weapons and ammunition to launch a large-scale counter-offensive campaign in the South, especially in the context of the Donbass battlefield in the South. East continues to be tense. A Ukrainian official said they will be in a better position in July and August when the West provides more heavy weapons. At that time, Ukrainian forces will even enter the Crimean peninsula.


Kherson is located in the north of Crimea. Russia took control of Kherson shortly after launching a military operation in Ukraine. Russian forces here have turned to the defense to keep the line nearly 20km long.


Moscow also began to simplify the procedures for issuing Russian passports to residents of Kherson, and completed a television tower in Kherson province to broadcast Russian channels. Kirill Stremousov, an official in the Kherson military-civilian administration appointed by Moscow, yesterday said the region could apply for annexation to Russia "before the end of the year".


Although acknowledging heavy losses while Russia prevails in the east, Ukrainian officials insist that they will fight to the end and never give in to territory. A Ukrainian official said that peace talks with Russia are likely to resume next August when Kiev is in a better position.
