Russian air strikes target Kherson, Lithuania and Estonia aid Ukraine

Aftermath of Russian missile attack in Kherson

In recent news from Ukraine, the city of Kherson in the southern region was targeted by Russian air strikes on February 2. The head of the city's military administration reported that at least three civilians, including a 73-year-old woman and a 17-year-old boy, were rushed to the hospital. Multiple buildings were damaged in the attacks. Tragically, on February 5, four residents of Kherson lost their lives due to Russian shelling. Two men became trapped in a burning car, and the other two suffered severe shrapnel wounds.

In response to the ongoing conflict, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky visited a military hub near the village of Robotyne in the Zaporizhzhia region on February 4. He received updates on Russia's offensive and honored warriors with exceptional combat records by presenting them with state awards. Zelensky also held a meeting with the military command in Zaporizhzhia to address the security situation. During the meeting, he introduced Ivan Fedorov as the newly appointed head of the province's military administration. Fedorov, who previously served as the mayor of Melitopol, was captured and held prisoner by the Russian occupying forces at the start of the invasion. Zelensky emphasized the importance of completing planned fortifications and expressed his determination to ensure that Ukraine regains control of Melitopol.
