Kyiv, Ukraine, Nov 14 (AFP/APP):Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky visited the city of Kherson on Monday, following the withdrawal of Russian forces from the region, a source in Zelensky’s office told AFP.
The visit came just days after Ukrainian troops entered the city — the Kherson region’s administrative centre — after Russia pulled back its forces on Friday.
The city of Kherson was the first major urban hub to fall after Russia invaded in February.
Its full recapture opens a gateway for Ukraine to the entire Kherson region, with access to both the Black Sea in the west and the Sea of Azov in the east.
