Ukraine says it has liberated Irpin city from Russian forces
KYIV – Ukraine’s northern Irpin city has been liberated from Russian troops, Mayor Alexander Markushin has said in a video message.
“We have good news today, the city of Irpin has been liberated,” he noted, saying there is a “cleaning operation” going on in the city.
The people are still not allowed to return to the city due to ongoing threats, Markushin noted, adding that the Russian army may attack the city in the future and so they will reinforce the defense of the city.
Separately, Mariupol Mayor Vadym Boychenko in a statement said almost 5,000 people were killed in the southeastern Ukrainian city, including about 210 children as of March 27.
Since the start of the Russia-Ukraine war on February 24, Russian bombings damaged over 2,000 apartment blocks while adding that 1,560 were hit directly and 1,040 were destroyed.
Boychenko said at least 150,000 people were evacuated from Mariupol after it was besieged.
