💰 Ukraine is offering residents cash and free train rides to evacuate Kherson as Russian shelling intensifies in the city

TL;DR

Ukraine is ramping up its incentives for citizens trapped in Kherson to leave town as Russian forces unleashed a blitz of rocket and artillery fire in the region during the last week of a tragic year.In one of the most intense periods of shelling since Ukraine regained control of Kherson last month, Russian forces hit Kherson over the Christmas weekend, killing at least 10 people, and struck a maternity ward this week.Ukrainian authorities are now offering money and transportation for the remaining locals to leave, according to The New York Times.In November, Ukrainian forces had regained control of the southern region after a months-long Russian reign of control in Kherson, where a proxy government was installed and Russia attempted to formally annex the area after holding sham referendums.And as part of a fast-tracked program, the Ukrainian government is also offering residents cash and free train rides headed west to leave the embattled region, the Ministry of Reintegration said in a Facebook post."
