Russia says it has completed its operation to move at least 70,000 civilians out of the occupied Ukrainian city of Kherson – what Kyiv calls forced deportations.
A Russian militia commander said its troops were preparing Kherson for defence, ahead of an expected battle with advancing Ukrainian forces.
The region was one of four areas declared annexed by Vladimir Putin last month – though Moscow does not have total control of any of them.
Kherson city, in Ukraine’s south, was captured shortly after the beginning of the Russian invasion – but recently Ukrainian forces have recaptured nearby territory, with the front line some 30km (18 miles) from the city, according to officials.
Meanwhile, Russia said it had mobilised 300,000 reservists, the target it had set for boosting troop numbers.
