Ukraine Accuses Russia Of ‘Atrocities’ In Kherson

YUZHNE, Ukraine (AP) – Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskyy is accusing Russian forces of having committed “atrocities” in the southern region of Kherson that its forces have now partially abandoned. In his nightly video address Sunday, Zelenskyy said without details that “investigators have already documented more than 400 Russian war crimes” and found civilian and military bodies. He said that in the Kherson region, “the Russian army left behind the same atrocities as in other regions.” The end of Russia’s eight-month occupation of the city of Kherson has sparked days of celebration but also exposed a humanitarian emergency, with residents living without power and water and short of food and medicines. Russia still controls about 70% of the wider Kherson region.
