Under rainy skies, Ukrainian-controlled Kherson's central square was a frenetic melee on Thursday afternoon of humanitarian aid queues and displays of patriotic celebration tinged with uncertainty about the future.

Russia last week pulled its troops out of a pocket on the west bank of the Dnipro River in Ukraine, which included Kherson, the only regional capital it had captured since the February invasion.

Hundreds of people stood in a queue for humanitarian assistance, but said they had no idea what they might receive. A few people said they had been waiting for hours. The port city of Mariupol, on the Sea of Azov, suffered major damage before falling to Russian forces in May.People receive food aid after Russia's retreat from Kherson, Ukraine November 17, 2022.

Moscow declared Kherson to be Russian after a September referendum denounced by Ukraine and its allies as a sham. A billboard advertising the vote was still standing, but someone had scrubbed out the word "Russia".Anya Vostoboinik, 62, a one-legged woman in a wheelchair, clutched a pack of disposable diapers she had been given.

You know what’s next. Russia left Kherson to avoid casualties and take the high ground. Winter is here and there are 60 divisions waiting to crush Ukraine and rain down artillery.

Reuters confuses right and wrong. Who is the aggressor? As a news agency, of course, knows the reason for the incident, but it deceives the Ukrainians as if it did not know. Poor Ukrainians☞😓“ It ’ s easier to fool people than to convince them that they have been fooled ”.

Anyone who thinks Russia left out of fear can DM me. I have ocean front property in Arizona for sale. $1000 per acre.

Inside liberated Kherson, a major hub retaken by Ukrainian forcesThe road to Kherson, scattered with burnt-out tanks and vehicles, at one point stops being a functional road due to a collapsed bridge, requiring a hastily constructed dirt track. The post-apocalyptic scenery around Ukraine’s recently liberated city is unsurprising considering that until about a week ago, this area of otherwise unremarkable countryside was amongst the most fiercely contested pieces of land on earth. Almost every building on both sides of the road shows some sign of damage from the fighting. At least half of them are totally destroyed. michaeldweiss Ruzzian media keeps ignoring these celebrations, but fail to present any video evidence of any similar celebrations when ruzzian troops invaded and occupied Kherson US General Mark Milley, speaking on Nov 9 at the NY Economics Club He said :- ''Politically, there may be a political solution where, politically, the Russians withdraw.
