Mon 14 November 2022:
Zelenskyy has visited Kherson days after a Russian troop withdrawal from the southern Ukrainian city after months of occupation.
“We are moving forward,” the Ukrainian president told troops in the regional capital. “We are ready for peace, peace for all our country.”
Zelenskyy also thanked Kyiv’s Western allies for their support in the war against Russia.
🍉”And what about the Kherson watermelon?” – @ZelenskyyUa joked in response to a journalist’s question about the reason for his visit to the de-occupied city.

More than 400 Russian war crimes uncovered in Kherson: Zelenskyy
Ukraine’s president has accused Russian soldiers of committing hundreds of war crimes and killing civilians in Kherson, parts of which were retaken by Ukraine’s army last week after Moscow’s forces pulled out.
“Investigators have already documented more than 400 Russian war crimes. Bodies of dead civilians and servicemen have been found,” Zelenskyy said in his nightly video address.
“The Russian army left behind the same savagery it did in other regions of the country it entered,” he said.
Russia denies its troops intentionally target civilians.

The United Kingdom’s Ministry of Defence says the winter months ahead “will bring a change in conflict conditions for both Russian and Ukrainian forces” and result in “more static” front lines.
“Changes to daylight hours, temperature and weather will present unique challenges for fighting soldiers,” the ministry said in its latest daily intelligence update.
“Daylight will reduce to fewer than 9 hours a day, compared to 15-16 in the height of summer. This results in fewer offensives and more static defensive frontlines,” it added.
“The average high temperature will drop from 13 degrees Celsius through September to November, to zero through December to February. Forces lacking in winter weather clothing and accommodation are highly likely to suffer from non-freezing cold injuries.”
