Kiev: “Russian troops are leaving landmines as they leave Kiev, Ukraine. It appears that Russia is planning to launch another offensive, ”said Ukrainian President Volodymyr Gelensky.
Russian troops have been attacking the Eastern European country of Ukraine since February 24. The Ukrainian military is retaliating. In the meantime, talks are ongoing between the two countries to end the war. Russia has announced a ceasefire in the capital, Kiev.
Following this, Russian troops began to withdraw from Kiev and its suburbs. The Ukrainian military is working to bring the area under its control. But civilians are panicking as Russian troops drop landmines.
The move by the Russian military has raised suspicions in the Ukrainian government. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zhelensky said yesterday that Russian troops were leaving Kiev and its environs with explosives, including landmines. This raises suspicion.
Russian troops are likely to strike again at full capacity in the coming days. The war in eastern Ukraine is likely to intensify. Therefore, it is not possible for the Russian military to return to normalcy for the time being, he said.
Meanwhile, Russian troops have intensified attacks on the port city of Mariupol and cities in eastern Ukraine.
