After the recapture by the Ukrainian army of the city of Kherson on Friday, the damage assessment begins. And according to the statements of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, “before fleeing Kherson, the occupiers destroyed all the essential infrastructure: communication, water supply, heating, electricity…”
In the city “nearly 2,000 explosive devices have already been removed: mines, wire traps, unexploded munitions…”, he explained in a video posted on his Facebook page, assuring that “we will rebuild everything”.
After eight months of occupation by Russian forces, national television programs are again visible in Kherson. And the region’s energy provider has announced that it is working to restore power, according to AFP.
Residents of the city were also alerted to the presence of explosive devices left behind by Russian forces, urging them to “move with caution.”
Volodymyr Zelensky promises “Ukrainian success” in the rest of Ukraine, and assures that the Ukrainian army will go “to the cities and towns that are still under occupation. We do not forget anyone, we will not leave anyone.”
