Videos and photos circulating on social media on Friday showed a Ukrainian flag flying over a monument in on a central square of Kherson and local residents cheerfully taking to the streets with Ukrainian flags
A Ukrainian regional official, Serhii Khlan, disputed the Russian Defense Ministry’s claim that the retreating forces took all their equipment with them, saying he was told “a lot” of hardware got left behind.
He added that the Kremlin doesn’t regret holding festivities just over a month ago to celebrate the annexation of occupied or partially occupied regions of Ukraine. Without referencing events unfolding in Kherson, Zelenskyy said in a video message thanking U.S. military personnel on Veterans Day that that “victory will be ours.”
Recapturing the city could provide Ukraine a strong position from which to expand its southern counteroffensive to other Russian-occupied areas, potentially including Crimea, which Moscow seized in 2014. Mamontov said he found “nothing there” when he opened an apartment door to look for his mother after the missile struck. Friday was her 34th birthday, the teenager said.
