Local residents told @currenttimetv that when Russian troops occupied their village, they were dumbfounded by Ukraine's "high living standards," like having a shower or bath in every house.

Now, most of the village is in ruins, leaving many locals homeless and in need. pic.twitter.com/959bwNkmXr

This is how Antonovskyi bridge in Kherson looks like after this night’s shelling by Ukraine’s Armed Forces. The bridge is now impassable for heavy equipment, which makes Russia’s task to resupply its forces in Kherson way harder #StopRussia pic.twitter.com/q68FiY8679

(1/5) Ukraine’s counter-offensive in Kherson is gathering momentum. Their forces have highly likely established a bridgehead south of the Ingulets River, which forms the northern boundary of Russian-occupied Kherson.

The National Resistance has advised Ukrainians in Kherson to leave as operations to liberate the city from the Russian fascist occupiers are underway.

Tonight, reports are coming in of explosions in Kherson itself – not just at Chornobayivka or the Antonivskyi bridge.

The South is still the main effort but by making mischief in the East the Ukrainians are making the Russians keep some forces there.

In the last 24hrs:

• A video is published online of a Russian soldier castrating a live Ukrainian prisoner.
