Russian Forces Announce Liberation of Zaliznychne in Zaporizhzhia Region

According to the International Desk of Webangah News Agency, the Russian Ministry of Defence released a statement confirming that Russian forces have liberated the town of Zaliznychne, located in the Zaporizhzhia region. This information was disseminated based on data published by the Mehr News Agency.

Furthermore, the ministry detailed its operations, announcing that strikes had been conducted against energy and transportation infrastructure facilities linked to the Ukrainian armed forces. The official statement highlighted the elimination of a number of Ukrainian military personnel and the destruction of Ukrainian army military hardware during these engagements.

This ongoing military activity is contextualized by historical events, notably the recognition of the independence of the Donetsk People’s Republic and the Luhansk People’s Republic by Russian President Vladimir Putin on February 21, 2022. Three days following this recognition, Russia commenced what it terms a “special military operation” against Ukraine.

In response to these actions, the United States and various Western nations imposed comprehensive sanctions regimes against Russia while simultaneously escalating the delivery of weaponry and military equipment to Ukraine.
