Russian forces lash out indiscriminately as Ukraine increases military pressure on frontline towns
In this vacant and damaged village, news of Russia’s evacuation of occupied towns along the southern front cannot come soon enough. Ukrainian-held Mala Tokmachka, just over a mile from Russian-held territory in the Zaporizhzhia region, has been left ghostly and battered by shelling, leaving the central square pockmarked, and the school’s facade torn off. Shrapnel is mixed in with fallen pine cones.
Below this line of trenches and concrete, there are reports of some ongoing defenses, but not of a depth that would suggest Russia can easily afford to lose this initial frontline. Once Ukraine’s well-prepared offensive has pushed past this first boundary, there is a risk for Moscow that Kyiv’s move to the coast is a lot easier.
