Russian forces fled the city last week.President Volodymyr Zelensky on Monday said it was"impossible to kill Ukraine" as he hailed the liberation of city of Kherson in a surprise visit.
Russian President Vladimir Putin's spokesperson denied, however, that the Ukrainian leader's visit had any impact on the status of the Kherson region, which Moscow formally annexed into Russia at a ceremony last month."The price of this war is high. People are injured. A large number of dead. have left or escaped -- we believe that they have escaped because our army has surrounded the enemy and they were in danger," Zelensky said in Kherson.
Still, Stoltenberg said that"the coming months will be difficult" and cautioned that:"we should not make the mistake of underestimating Russia". The region was one of four that the Kremlin announced in September were annexed and part of Russia. Russian President Vladimir Putin vowed to use all available means to defend them from Ukrainian forces.
