Towns North Of Kyiv Recover From Russian Offensive Launched From Belarus

VORZEL, UKRAINE - MAY 5: A person looks at a smartphone near a SpaceX Starlink internet terminal installed on a flower bed on May 5, 2022 in Vorzel, Ukraine. During the Russian large-scale invasion of Ukraine Vorzel, an urban-type village in Kyiv Oblast, was shelled and then occupied by Russian troops in late February 2022. Until March 9, Vorzel was blocked by Russian troops, leaving most houses without electricity, heat and water. It was only on March 9 that evacuation of local residents began. On April 1, the Armed Forces of Ukraine released Vorzel. The communities northwest of Kyiv were square in the path of Russia’s devastating but ultimately unsuccessful attempt to seize the Ukrainian capital with forces deployed from Belarus, a Russian ally.
