KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — Russian-installed authorities in Ukraine told all residents of the city of Kherson to leave “immediately” Saturday ahead of an expected advance by Ukrainian troops waging a counteroffensive to recapture one of the first urban areas Russia took after invading the country.
In a post on the Telegram messaging service, the pro-Kremlin regional administration strongly urged civilians to use boat crossings over a major river to move deeper into Russian-held territory, citing a tense situation on the front and the threat of shelling and alleged plans for “terror attacks” by Kyiv.
Kherson has been in Russian hands since the early days of the nearly 8-month-long war in Ukraine. The city is the capital of a region of the same name, one of four that Russian President Vladimir Putin illegally annexed last month and put under Russian martial law on Thursday.
On Friday, Ukrainian forces bombarded Russian positions across the province, targeting pro-Kremlin forces’ resupply routes across the Dnieper River and preparing for a final push to reclaim the city. Ukraine has retaken some villages in the region’s north since launching its counteroffensive in late August.

Thats odd. Putards say ukraine is losing in khereson
Very thoughtful of the Russian authorities. Nice to see.
Jeez, the Ukrainian government is mystified by Russia wanting to protect civilian lives instead of keeping them around as HUMAN SHIELDS as is Ukrainian practice.
“Thats odd. Putards say ukraine is losing in khereson.”
Yeah, Katya and Kazan/cranked especially.
Good advice, the Coward Uke Nazis will attack, and they will murder, torture and use as Human Shields, anyone they can get a hold of.
They've done it regularly before, and they'll do it again.
Biden/Obama putting our troops in harms way in a war that is not ours. Utterly disgusting and they by passed congress completely.
Azov einsatzgruppen are saddened.
Perhaps if all “Russians” left the Ukraine and Crimea, then a referendum could be held, then, there would be peace. They’d have a vaild UN monitored/validated world recognized situation.
Russia could the lease the seaport for 99 years.
Ukraine will not be admitted to NATO, they won’t, will never, get unanimous agreement on entry.
There’s a good reason why Russia watches what we do rather than what we say....and vice-versa.
Oh no, Russia expects the Ukes to go scorched ( or flooded) earth on Kherson city …so yes, they may “ win” if you considered it victory to destroy the city and carry out terrible retribution on any remaining civilians as “ collaborators” for living their lives rather peacefully under Russian administration for 7 months. As the Ukes have demonstrated in other cities and towns they have “ liberated”, inhabited by people they have been groomed to hate,.
Has anyone asked why the Ukes are using our rather-expensive and scarce HIMARS to target convoys of civilians trying to evacuate?
For the THIRD DAY in a row.....
Yo, timbernut, where are all those endless Ukraine ‘winning’ articles and threads at for the last three to four days you and your other peddlers spam on FR instead of rehashing stuff like a Dam maybe being blown up, or rehashing who blew up pipelines, US troops on the borders in Ukraine, and now rehashing civilian evacuations of Kherson?
Where is all that spammed out ‘winning’ yo!?
Translation: The final slaughter of the Ukrainian army is about to take place.
