KYIV, Ukraine (AP) – Ukrainian authorities are evacuating civilians from liberated areas in the southern Kherson and Mykolaiv regions. They fear that infrastructure damage is too severe for people to endure the winter without power, heat and water.  The World Health Organization warned that millions in Ukraine face a “life-threatening” winter.  Also Monday, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and his wife made a rare joint public appearance to observe a moment of silence at a Kyiv memorial for those killed in Ukraine’s pro-European Union protests in 2014. And the International Atomic Energy Agency reported that shelling of Europe’s largest nuclear power plant had not damaged key equipment and identified no nuclear safety concerns.
