Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Monday visited the newly recaptured southern city of Kherson, the biggest prize yet won by Ukrainian forces, where he has accused Russian forces of committing war crimes before they fled last week.
"We are moving forward," he told troops standing in formation in front of the administration building in the city's main square, where parents had also turned out with children, some pushing baby strollers, some waving Ukrainian flags or draped in them. "We are ready for peace, peace for all our country."
Zelenskyy thanked NATO and other allies for their ongoing support in the war against Russia and said the delivery of rockets from the United States had made a big difference for Kyiv.
