The Russians have announced a round-the-clock curfew in the temporarily occupied city of Kherson.
The Russian-installed deputy governor of Ukraine’s Kherson region said on Friday that a 24 hour curfew had been imposed in Kherson city, amid what he said was likely a Ukrainian offensive against the city, reports Reuters.

A round-the-clock curfew has been announced in Kherson.
Earlier, the media reported that following the recent successes of Ukraine’s Armed Forces in liberating Kherson Oblast, Russian occupiers have been transferring their military equipment and personnel from the right bank of the Dnipro River to the left bank.
Russian President Vladimir Putin stated that the residents of Kherson should be “evacuated” from the city.
Oleksii Reznikov, Minister of Defence of Ukraine, does not rule out that the Russian invaders may retreat from Kherson to the left bank of the Dnipro River.
Sky News reported, citing Western officials, that Russian President Vladimir Putin is likely to come under increasing pressure from nationalist hardline supporters due to the expected withdrawal of occupying forces from the key city of Kherson.
