New satellite images show a huge trench excavated by Russians in Ukraine’s Zaporizhzhia region.
Russian forces have dug a colossal 45-mile-long trench in Ukraine’s occupied Zaporizhzhia region in an apparent bid to thwart Kyiv’s looming counteroffensive, new satellite images revealed.
The defensive line represents almost one-third of the length of the Zaporizhzhya region, which Putin illegally annexed last fall. “Well, at least they’ll score a victory in something. They will have no other victories. Let them be record holders from the trenches,” she sarcastically remarked during a recent TV interview.
The head of the Moscow-controlled part of the Donetsk region, Denis Pushilin, claimed that Russian troops now held 75% of the obliterated city, which they have fought for months to capture at a devastating cost in lives on both sides. While Ukraine has said it wants to inflict as many casualties as possible on the Russian forces ahead of its counteroffensive, President Volodymyr Zelensky last week acknowledged that if troops risked being surrounded they could be pulled back.Ukrainian servicemen walks along trenches near Bakhmut.Ukrainian military analyst Oleh Zhdanov confirmed that enemy forces controlled the center of Bakhmut, with much of their assault now focusing on the railway station.
