Brief ceasefire brings rare quiet to Kherson, Ukraine
Summary
Years of near-daily Russian drone and artillery attacks have turned the southern Ukrainian city of Kherson into a battered urban landscape, reports say. A planned six-day ceasefire brokered by U.S. first lady Melania Trump has brought rare quiet to the Ukrainian-held city. Reports say the localized pause began at 3am Tuesday so medicine, food and water could be taken to the Russian-occupied town of Oleshky across the water, before evacuation corridors open later in the week. The New York Times describes the arrangement as a brief respite for a city where Russian drones and artillery have long terrorized civilians.
