Ukrainian flags have been raised on official buildings and celebrations erupted in Kherson city as Russian troops retreat.
Footage shows the moment the Ukrainian city of Kherson was hit by Russian artillery on Sunday. According to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, the strikes in the southern city left at least three people dead.
A forced pullout from Kherson, the only provincial capital Moscow captured after invading Ukraine in February, would mark one of Russia’s worst war setbacks.
Russian-appointed officials in the town are telling citizens to evacuate. The region was annexed by Russia back in September in supposed "elections".
At least 200 people have been killed in the Kyiv suburb of Irpin since Russia invaded Ukraine, its mayor said Wednesday, adding that half the town had been destroyed and it was unsafe for residents to return. Ukraine said the commuter town was "liberated" from Russian forces on Monday. FRANCE 24's Cyril Payen tells us more.
