On Sunday (February 26th), Qatar-based Al Jazeera media reported that Moscow had claimed that Russian forces had completely cordoned off the southern Ukrainian city of Kherson and the southeastern city of Bardiansk. News of the blockade of the two cities came as the military campaign in the Eastern European country was announced to intensify.
Russia’s Defense Ministry spokesman Igor Konashenkov said in a statement that “for the past 24 hours, the Russian military has laid siege to the Ukrainian cities of Kherson and Bardiansk.”
Russia’s military has seized a town called Nova Kakhovka on the fourth day of its offensive in Ukraine. The town, also known as New Kakhovka, is small but strategically important. The town of Kakhovka is located on the banks of the Dinipar River, which is directly connected to the Crimean Peninsula by water.
