Zelenskyy visits recaptured Kherson

The Ukrainian president on Monday paid a visit to the liberated city of Kherson, just days after it was retaken from Moscow's forces.

The end of the eight-month Russian occupation of Kherson has sparked celebration, but also exposed a humanitarian emergency. Many residents are living without power and water and there are shortages of food and medicines.

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy was photographed Monday posing with troops in a central Kherson square.

"We are moving forward," Zelenskyy said in an address to his forces, also thanking NATO and other allies for supporting his country in the war against Russia.
