The Ukrainian city of Dnipro has emerged as a crucial hub for the Ukrainian military and humanitarian operations as the war in Ukraine’s east grinds on.
After repeated airstrikes that struck the city in March and early April, an uneasy calm has fallen over Dnipro, the fourth largest city in Ukraine.
During a recent visit, the author David Patrikarakos described a city largely defended by volunteer militias that lie between “Ukraine’s two worlds: West and East; Europe and Russia.”
“Its geographical location makes it vital to the country’s war effort,” he wrote. “Dnipro’s central location makes it the country’s most important logistical hub.”
