Retreating Russian forces are stealing medical equipment and trying to make the Kherson region a “no man’s land”, claimed Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky.
Russia said on Friday it had finished calling up reservists to fight in Ukraine, having drafted hundreds of thousands in a month and sent more than a quarter of them already to the battlefield after a divisive mobilisation campaign that was its first since World War Two.
But despite the conscription, Russian forces are still unable to make a notable breakthrough on military lines in the east of Ukraine.
