People in the southern Ukrainian city of Kherson dance around a bonfire singing "Chervona Kalyna", a Ukrainian patriotic song, as they celebrate their country's armed forces entering the city following a Russian withdrawal. Moscow said on Friday it had withdrawn more than 30,000 troops in the southern Kherson region to the eastern bank of the Dnipro river.
"We are winning", said Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba on Saturday, one day after his country's military retook Kherson.
Ukraine said Friday its forces were entering the southern city of Kherson after Russia announced its troops had retreated to defensive positions on the eastern bank of the Dnipro river. "Kherson is returning to Ukrainian control and units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine are entering the city," the Ukrainian defence ministry said on social media.
