After the Russian troops withdrew from Cherson, the Ukrainians arrested Russian soldiers and mercenaries there. President Zelenskyy reports on hundreds of documented war crimes. But he sees victory approaching.
Despite the ongoing Russian attacks, Ukrainian President Zelenskyy has encouraged his compatriots. “We all feel our victory approaching,” Zelenskyj said in his daily video message. “There are always people who fight and work for our victory.” Zelenskyy thanked soldiers, doctors and diplomats who have been on duty in Ukraine around the clock for more than 260 days since the start of the Russian war of aggression.
In the liberated Cherson in the south of the country, meanwhile, feverish efforts are being made to restore life as normal as possible. In addition, the “neutralization” of Russian saboteurs and the capture of remaining Russian soldiers and mercenaries is in progress. So far, around 400 Russian war crimes have been documented, and according to Selenskyj, the bodies of civilians and military personnel have also been found in the city. “In the Kherson region, the Russian army committed the same atrocities as in other regions of our country that it entered,” said Zelenskyy. But we will find every murderer and bring them to justice.” The rule of law has been restored in 226 towns with a total of over 100,000 inhabitants.
More than eight and a half months after the Russian invasion, the Ukrainian army had a great success last week: After successful counter-offensives, the Russians in the southern region of Cherson withdrew from the regional capital of the same name and other places on the right bank of the Dnipro.
