Kherson is officially liberated. The newest map from Russia's ministry of defence shows that they have completely abandoned the city.

We had Russians in our country (the Czechia) for almost 40 years. Plague on them.

Things look very happy in Kherson today. I had a message from Valery awhile ago fearing there would be urban street fighting. Thankfully, it looks like there was nothing like that. I'm sure we will hear from him again soon once the internet gets turned back on again.

The fact the Russians have withdrawn is good news indeed!

It is very good to hear an update on Valery and hear that he and his family are well.

Lets hope for continued improvements in the Ukraine regaining territory.

Damn...I wish him luck and prayers. I feel for him and his family. Thanks for letting us know, Markus and Bob. At least he is still alive.

Thanks for the update Bob :bow

Good to hear he is safe, but very sad to hear his health is suffering and food/heat are scarce. Can only hope for the conditions to improve.

Can anyone tell me where Valery and family are now residing? They were on the move frequently and I lost track.

Tanks,
Brian

I hope he and the people can finally evacuate from there. Kherson is now being shelled from occupied areas as it was to be expected.
