 Russian military digs mega-trench over 700 km long in Zaporizhia Oblast. A week after satellite images uncovered massive trenches in Crimea, new satellite images have shown a massive 700 km long trench in occupied Zaporizhia Oblast. The new voice of Ukraine informed it. The Center for Journalistic Investigations discovered the earthworks using Sentinel-2 satellite imagery. The continuous trench runs for over 700 km and extends from the outskirts of Semenivka, about 9 km from the center of Melitopol to a field outside the village of Marinivka in the Primorsky district. Based on Center for Journalistic Investigations estimates, construction began in early September 2022 with the defensive line dug from both directions simultaneously. The estimate is that the trench was completed in mid-October. The 70 km ditch represents almost one third of the length of Zaporizhia Oblast from east to west, 205 km. Before this, Ukraine's National Resistance Center announced that Russia's invading forces have developed an evacuation plan for occupying administration officials and their families to move from the occupied town of Vasilevka, Zaporizhia Oblast, to Crimea. The scheme would seek collaborators and their families flee to temporarily occupied Crimea two hours before the retreat of the Russian army. The plan is an attempt by Russian authorities to calm nervous traitors. The agency added that occupying administrations in Crimea have also developed similar evacuation plans and are compiling lists of employees and family members who are subject to priority evacuation.
