Kherson ceasefire ends as residents brace for renewed Russian strikes
The week-long truce that let Oleshky civilians evacuate expired Sunday evening, with Kherson residents and officials warning of intensified attacks.
What to know
- A U.S.-brokered localized ceasefire in Ukraine's Kherson region, credited in part to first lady Melania Trump, ran from early Tuesday to Sunday evening.
- The truce enabled a rare joint evacuation of roughly 2,000 besieged civilians from Oleshky, with others choosing to stay with resupplied food and medicine.
- Despite the pause, Russian and Ukrainian strikes continued elsewhere, including Russian attacks on Ukraine's energy grid that cut power to hundreds of thousands of families.
- As the ceasefire expired Sunday evening, Kherson city residents and officials expected intensified shelling to resume, with Russian forces reported to have brought in more weapons and personnel.
“Nothing will change. Everything will go back to how it was before the ceasefire, because believing the Russians means not believing yourself.”
