The Ukrainian national anthem rang out in Kherson after Moscow pulled its forces out of the city -- the first major urban hub to fall after President Vladimir Putin ordered the invasion in February.
CAMBODIA - Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba said Saturday that the "war goes on" after the success of retaking the city of Kherson from Russian invaders.
Speaking at a Southeast Asian summit in Cambodia, Kuleba said the fight to liberate the country would carry on.Earlier, Kuleba thanked Australia for its support -- $440 million of mostly military assistance -- during a bilateral meeting with Prime Minister Anthony Albanese on the sidelines of the summit.
"I understand that everyone wants this war to end as soon as possible. We are definitely the ones who want that more than anyone else," he said during the meeting with Albanese. "But as long as the war continues, and we see Russia mobilising more conscripts and bringing more weapons to Ukraine, of course we will continue to count on your continued support."
Australia in October pledged an extra 30 Bushmaster armoured vehicles to Ukraine and allocated 70 Australian defence personnel to train Ukrainian soldiers in Britain.
