The Moscow-based governor described the period as “difficult” as Kyiv’s forces have been on the offensive in the region for several weeks, advancing from west to east, despite resistance from the Russian army.
Due to the territorial conquests of the Ukrainian soldiers, the Russian occupation authorities had already asked the inhabitants of the Right Bank in mid-October to leave their homes to cross the Dnieper River.
