The situation in Kherson and the region
It's worth noting that in the fall of last year, Ukrainian defenders successfully conducted a counteroffensive in the southern part of our country. The Armed Forces of Ukraine managed to liberate the right-bank part of the Kherson region from occupying forces. Notably, Kherson, an administrative centre of Kherson Oblast, returned under Ukrainian control. It was the only regional center occupied by the Russians in February-March 2022.
The occupation of Kherson and the right-bank part of the region lasted for eight months. Currently, Russian forces continue to daily shell the de-occupied territories.
On December 14, occupiers targeted the central part of the city, resulting in casualties.
