Russia switches to strategic defence from offence with 'massive redeployment' of troops to Ukraine's south, says a senior adviser to President Zelenskyy as the fierce fighting enters 155th day Follow our live coverage: 👇
Ukraine has made clear it intends to recapture the southern city of Kherson, which fell to Russia in the early days of the conflict. Russian forces took over Ukraine's second-biggest power plant and are conducting a "massive redeployment" of troops to southern regions of Melitopol, Zaporizhzhia and Kherson, a Ukrainian presidential adviser said, amid expectations of a Ukrainian counter-offensive.
Oleksiy Arestovych, an adviser to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, confirmed the capture of the Soviet-era coal-fired Vuhlehirsk power plant in the eastern Donetsk region, but said it was only a "tiny tactical advantage" for Russia. The Russian redeployment to the south appeared to be a switch to strategic defence from offence, he added.
