Civilians in Ukraine’s Kherson prepare for the return of war as localized ceasefire ends
A six-day humanitarian pause let about 2,000 civilians leave Oleshky, and residents in Kherson now expect shelling to intensify.
- Former Ukrainian Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk ruled out a broader truce following the three-day humanitarian ceasefire in Russian-occupied Oleshky, accusing Moscow of exploiting the mission to gain favor with the White House.
- The localized truce provided brief respite to nearby Kherson, which has become one of Ukraine's most dangerous cities since Kyiv's forces regained control following eight months of Russian occupation.
- Residents like Gardener Volodymyr Omeltchenko navigate constant drone swarms by moving between trees to reach work, while others manage daily life in the heavily bombarded, Stalinist-era city.
- This humanitarian respite is short-lived, with hostilities expected to resume shortly before 11:00 pm on Sunday, forcing residents to continue living in a state of permanent alert.
- Yatsenyuk warned that Moscow's willingness to negotiate is a tactic to "buy some kind of positive attitude," arguing that Russian President Vladimir Putin seeks only Ukraine's capitulation.
