Fresh from a trip to the United States seeking weapons to resist the 10-month-old Russian invasion, President Volodymyr Zelensky"Social networks will most likely mark these photos as 'sensitive content'. But this is not sensitive content – it is the real life of Ukraine and Ukrainians," he wrote. Vladimir Saldo, the region's Russian-installed governor, said Kyiv had ordered troops to shell the city.
"There were civilians there, each of whom lived their own life, went about their own business," he said, noting a girl selling phone SIM cards, others unloading items from a truck, and passersby.Ukraine retook the city, the only regional capital Russia had since its Feb. 24 invasion, in November. Since then, Kyiv says Russian forces have heavily shelled the city from across the vast Dnipro river.
