The assault followed what have been days of euphoria in Ukraine after one of its biggest military successes in the nearly nine-month Russian invasion

As its battlefield losses mount, Russia has in recent months increasingly resorted to targeting Ukraine’s power grid, seemingly hoping to turn the approach of winter into a weapon by leaving people in the cold and dark.

Ukraine had seen a period of comparative calm since previous waves of drone and missile attacks several weeks ago. Speaking from Kyiv, Bogner said her teams are looking to travel to Kherson to try to verify allegations of nearly 80 cases of enforced disappearances and arbitrary detention it has turned up in the area and “understand whether the scale is in fact larger than what we have documented already.”

The retaking of Kherson was one of Ukraine’s biggest successes in the nearly 9-month-old Russian invasion and dealt another stinging blow to the Kremlin. But large parts of eastern and southern Ukraine remain under Russian control and fighting continues. “It’s like, for example, D-Day — the landing of the Allies in Normandy. It was not yet a final point in the fight against evil, but it already determined the entire further course of events. This is exactly what we are feeling now,” he said.

Photo: Alleged Russian Collaborators Tied to Lampposts in UkraineA photo taken Sunday showed two alleged Russian collaborators tied to lampposts in recently liberated Kherson—a medieval punishment that comes as Ukrainian officials accuse Russia of committing at least 400 war crimes during their brutal invasion. Ready, aim, fire. 400 war crimes. I’m waiting for the U.N. To call Russia out. Hopefully soon could help. Being zip tied to a lamppost seems to pale when compared to being tortured, shot in the head then dumped in a hole with 30-40 other people who'd met the same fate. That being something Russia did throughout many Ukrainian towns & cities.
