LUkrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky hailed Friday as “a historic day” after Russian troops withdrew and the key city of Kherson in southern Ukraine was retaken by troops from Kyiv.
“Today is a historic day!”, he welcomed in his daily speech posted on social networks.
“Our people. Ours. Kherson”, he wrote a few minutes ago on Telegram with a blue and yellow Ukrainian flag in his text message.
