Residents take stock after Ukrainian soldiers liberate city from forces that aimed to make them ‘suffer as much as possible’
After two nights of jubilation following the liberation of their city, the people of Kherson on Sunday began to assess the extent of the damage wrought by eight long months of Russian occupation, with residents still without electricity and water.
On Sunday, President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said Russian forces had destroyed key infrastructure before retreating, while the mayor of Kherson said the humanitarian situation was “severe” because of a lack of medicine and bread.
