Zelenskyy warns Russian forces amid southern Ukraine offensive

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy urged Russian soldiers to flee for their lives after his forces launched an offensive to retake southern Ukraine, but Moscow said it had repulsed the attack and inflicted heavy losses on Kyiv’s troops.

Ukraine said on Monday its ground forces had gone on the offensive for the first time after a long period of aerial raids on Russian supply lines, especially ammunition dumps and bridges across the strategically important River Dnieper.

“If they want to survive, it’s time for the Russian military to run away. Go home,” Zelenskyy said in a late-night address.

“Ukraine is taking back its own [land],” he said, adding that he would not disclose Kyiv’s battle plans.
