Russia's bombardment of Kherson has left more than 40 civilians, including at least one child, dead and many more injured. At least three people were killed on Monday in the latest barrage.
Asked by Sky News if she thought life was better or worse now Russia's occupation had ended, she replied:"Worse. Worse. They are giving us aid but not for everyone."People, who opposed the occupation, lived under fear of arrest, torture and even death if they stepped out of line or attempted to defy Kremlin plans to make Kherson part of Russia.
Leonid Borovskyi, 60, surveyed a huge hold in the wall of his next-door neighbour's flat on the seventh floor of an apartment block in a residential area in the city.It was caused by a Russian rocket that slammed into the building the previous week. Because of the danger of incoming rounds, the Ukrainian government is encouraging more people to leave until it is safer.Sat at a window seat with a table, Viktoria Tupikonenko, 34, described how her whole family had celebrated the liberation of Kherson.She said she could not believe one month later she would be forced to flee with her five-year-old son and 13-year-old daughter. Her husband stayed behind with his parents.
