Shells Pummel Ukraine's Kherson; 10 Dead, 55 Wounded

TL;DR

KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — Russian shells pummeled the southern Ukrainian city of Kherson on Saturday, killing at least 10 people and injuring 55 in the city that Moscow’s troops were forced to abandon last month.Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, just back from his quick trip to Washington, posted photos of the wreckage on his social media accounts.The shelling has been especially intense in Kherson since Russian forces withdrew and Ukraine’s army reclaimed the city in November.Stepne, a settlement on the outskirts of Zaporizhzhia, was also hit by shelling but there were no details on casualties, according to the governor, Oleksander Starukh,Zelenskyy has returned to Kyiv following his trip to Washington, in which he secured another $1.8 billion military aid package.He said no reported Ukrainian peace plan can succeed without taking into account “the realities of today that can’t be ignored” — a reference to Moscow’s demand that Ukraine recognize Russia’s sovereignty over the Crimean Peninsula, which it annexed in 2014, as well as other territorial gains."
