Russia-Ukraine War: Zelensky on the front foot after the success of Kherson, expressed happiness and made a big promise to the public

The strategically important city was occupied by Russian forces for nearly eight months. Russia gave up its stronghold in this big city. When Russia invaded Ukraine on 24 February, Kherson was one of the first places to be captured.

The residents of Kherson, expressing happiness over the development, embraced the Ukrainian soldiers. "We will see many more such honors happen to Ukrainian soldiers who liberated Russian-occupied territory," President Zelensky said in his video address on Saturday night. Promised, "We don't forget anyone; And we will liberate every region." Ukraine's recapture of Kherson is a major blow to Russian troops.

The Ukrainian army tightened its hold on Kherson on Sunday. Authorities have begun discussions on removing the explosive devices and restoring basic public services in the city. A Ukrainian official described the situation in Kherson as "a humanitarian disaster". It is being told that the remaining residents of the city are short of electricity, water, medicine, and food. Ukrainian police have called on residents to help identify allies of the Russian military during the eight-month occupation. Ukrainian police officers returned to the city on Saturday after the withdrawal of Russian troops.
