Citizens of Kherson stock up on food and water with some saying they are expecting ‘something big’ in the coming days
Residents of the key southern Ukrainian city of Kherson are stocking up on food and water after another night of heavy Russian shelling and before an announced 56-hour curfew due to begin on Friday evening.
The violence in Kherson has increased markedly this week, with 23 people killed by Russian strikes in the region on Wednesday, including a deadly bombardment of a supermarket that killed eight people. “Yesterday I had to go out around the city. I drive along the city. I was near one of the places that was shelled. It felt like walking on a razor blade. Now I don’t want to leave the house. From tomorrow night we’ll be under a strict curfew announced by the authorities. First thing is safety but I assume this has something to do with the counteroffensive.
“We assume they’ll start again today. Now they’re closing the city and I guess it means something big is coming. We have enough food and water and I’ve sent my parents out of Kherson so it’s just me and my husband.
