Fighting Returns to Kherson After Six-Day Ukraine War Ceasefire Ends

Summary

A six-day ceasefire in the Russia-Ukraine war ended in the Kherson region, and fighting has returned there. NDTV describes it as the longest ceasefire of the war and reports that US-mediated talks between Russia and Ukraine are set to resume this month. BBC calls the truce unprecedented but says the six days did little to change the wider course of a war that continues to grind on.
