The Russian occupiers are trying to surround Popasnaya and encircle it.
The situation in Popasna, which the Russians almost razed to the ground , is only getting worse every day due to the attack of the invaders. Enemy shelling does not subside.
This was told by the mayor of the city Nikolai Khanatov 24 channel.
At the same time, he expressed doubt that the Russian army would be able to capture Popasna. According to him, the Ukrainian defenders are ready to repulse the enemy.
“The invaders are trying to encircle Popasnaya. This is true. We see what streets they are now occupying and what settlements they have already occupied,” Khanatov said.
The mayor of the city also added that although the defenders of Ukraine are in a very difficult situation, they continue to defend Popasna. They even support the local population in every possible way.
Now, according to the authorities, out of the 20,000 population of the city, only about 1,500 people remain. So far, they cannot be evacuated due to shelling by the invaders: you can get out of the city only on foot in the direction of the Donetsk region, but there are huge risks to life.
Recall that the Russians shot two evacuation buses in Popasnaya .
