KHERSON, Ukraine — Dozens of people have called Dmytro Fomin in the past few weeks, he says, pleading with him to take them across the Dnieper River.
On Saturday, more than three weeks after Ukraine regained control of the city, Ukrainian officials announced they would be lifting a ban on crossing the river, encouraging residents on the occupied eastern bank to flee to Kherson, whatever the danger, in a possible sign that Ukraine’s offensive could continue to push east. But those hoping to cross in the opposite direction, to rescue or reunite with those stranded, would remain barred.Few have taken up the offer to flee.
Even after the announcement that one-way westward crossing would be permitted, the Dnieper River was practically free of boats on Sunday.A spokesman for the regional government said officials made their decision after receiving requests from Ukrainians living on the east bank of the river. Officials told Kherson residents they would be allowed to enter the city at one location, a ferry terminal.
On the Kherson side of the river, residents gathered in below-freezing temperatures at the ferry terminal on Sunday, asking soldiers for any information about the evacuations to Kherson.One woman, Svitlana, hoped to cross the river to reunite with her husband and daughter on the east bank. She thought it would be better than staying apart from them in Kherson, where the missile strikes were constant.
Shutting down morality police is not going to bring back all those people who died for freedom. We want regime change in Iran. People are fighting for their rights, not just mandatory hijab. We are fighting against child marriage, poverty, and unfair trials. MahsaAmini
