Shelling of Kherson

Kherson and the settlements located on the right bank of the Dnipro River are constantly under fire, even though Kherson was liberated from occupation in November 2022.

The issue of the shelling of Kherson is now so acute that at the recent meeting of the Staff of the Supreme Commander-in-Chief under the leadership of the President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy, specific decisions were made regarding the defense of Kherson.
