Zelensky: Russians destroyed Kherson infrastructure, Donetsk battles are 'hell'

Russian forces destroyed the critical infrastructure in the southern city of Kherson before fleeing, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy said on Saturday (November 12), adding that local authorities were starting to stabilize the city.

"Before fleeing from Kherson, the occupiers destroyed all critical infrastructure - communications, supply of water, heat, electricity," Zelenskiy said in a video address.

Zelenskiy said Ukrainian troops had taken control of more than 60 settlements in the Kherson region.
