'The Russian army left behind the same savagery it did in other regions of the country it entered,' Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskiy says.
KHERSON, Ukraine – Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy has accused Russian soldiers of committing war crimes and killing civilians in Kherson, parts of which were retaken by Ukraine’s army last week after Russia pulled out.
Reuters was unable to verify his allegations. Russia denies its troops intentionally target civilians. Ukrainian troops arrived in the center of southern Kherson region on Friday after Russia abandoned the only regional capital it had captured since Moscow launched its invasion.on Saturday as they poured in to secure control of the right bank of the Dnipro River.
“We are happy now, but all of us are afraid of the bombing from the left bank,” said Yana Smyrnova, 35, a singer, referring to Russian guns on the east side of the Dnipro River that runs close to the city. In an online post Yanushevych warned people about reports of humanitarian aid arriving in Kherson’s Freedom Square and urged people to steer clear of the centre of the city as demining operations were due to proceed there.
Many residents interviewed by Reuters said they tried to minimize their contact with the Russians and knew of people who were arrested and abused for showing any expression of Ukrainian patriotism.
