Mines, according to Zelenskyy, are a threat to Kyiv following Russia's retreat.





Russian troops, according to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, are creating a "catastrophic" scenario for residents by placing mines surrounding homes, abandoned equipment, and the bodies of those murdered.


"It's still not possible to restore to regular life as it was, even in the territories that we are reclaiming after the battle," the president said in a nightly video address to his country.


"We need to wait until our land is demined, until we can tell you that no fresh shelling will occur," he added.

Russia is evacuating its military from the area around Kyiv and transferring troops to eastern Ukraine, according to Ukraine and its Western partners.


Ukraine's fighters, according to officials, have regained many areas around the capital city, including Brovary.


The move, however, does not imply that the country will be spared from the war.


According to the New York Times, Russian forces sought to suppress demonstrators in the city of Enerhodar, which is home to the Zaporizhzhia nuclear power station.



Energoatom, Ukraine's state nuclear organisation, announced the attacks on its official Telegram account, along with a video clip that looked to show loud explosions and flying debris.


"As the demonstrators dispersed, the invaders arrived in police vans and began forcing local citizens into them," according to the report. "The city was rocked by enormous explosions and bombardment a few minutes later."

According to Zelenskyy, he expects towns to be hit by airstrikes and artillery from afar, as well as severe fighting in the east.


The International Committee of the Red Cross intended to deliver emergency supplies and evacuate civilians in Mariupol, a southern port city in the largely Russian-speaking Donbas region, on Saturday.


Russians restricted entry to the city on Friday, according to municipal officials, and the Red Cross claimed it was unable to carry out the operation at the time because it had not received guarantees that the path was secure.


Officials estimate that over 100,000 people remain in the city, with roughly 2,000 making it out on their own on Friday.
