The expectation in Ukraine and in the rest of the world it is high: Kyiv prepares its counteroffensive. Expectations that for the Ukrainian Defense Minister, Oleksii Reznikov, could be too high and that also add more pressure on Kyiv.

In the Ukrainian capital they fear that they will not be able to demand more weapons from the West if they do not manage to recover territory. For Yago Rodríguez, director of ‘The Political Room’, “this idea of ​​promoting some kind of peace initiative would gain much more traction, even with pressure from a part of West about Ukraine”.

A possible axis of attack could cross the Zaporizhia Region, where Russia has begun evacuating civilians. Another possibility, starting from Kherson, where a curfew prevents civilians from going out on the streets since Friday. Rodríguez told laSexta that “Kherson is very unlikely to have an attack because we are talking about the Dnieper River, which at its narrowest point is half a kilometer of river.” However, the expert believes that “it can serve to force the Russians to divert a certain number of troops“.

Near Zaporizhia, in Energodar, evacuations are also taking place. In this case they are the technicians of the pcity ​​nuclear power plant. The director general of the Atomic Energy Agency shows his concern for the safety of the plant and the threat of a nuclear accident.

And while some leave, others return: 45 combatants captured ukrainians in Mariupol last year they have finally returned to their homes, as can be seen in the video above.
