Situation in Berdyansk

Russian forces occupied Berdyansk in the Zaporizhzhia region during the large-scale invasion of Ukraine by the Russian Federation in the winter of 2022. The city continues to be under the control of the invaders, with the Berdyansk port turned into a hub for military equipment and personnel by the Russians.

Despite the occupation, the city hosts a well-developed partisan movement, aiding Ukrainian defense forces in eliminating enemy concentrations and local collaborators who have sided with the enemy. For instance, just on May 2nd, there was an explosion in Berdyansk followed by a fire outbreak.
