The withdrawal of Russian forces from Ukraine's Kherson has prompted cautious relief in nearby Mykolaiv, a port city located some 60 kilometres away. Since the start of Russia's invasion, residents of Mykolaiv have been subjected to almost daily bombings. The regional governor Vitaly Kim announced on Friday evening that it was now "fully liberated". Our special correspondents Taline Oundjian, Luke Shrago and Wassim Daly report.
"It’s a relief, so it will be better, but we are afraid, still." Residents of Mykolaiv, a strategic port city in southern Ukraine, heaved a cautious sigh of relief on Friday after Kyiv announced the recapture of nearby Kherson, the only regional capital Russia had seized since the start of the war.
