Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky visited Kherson on Monday, days after the withdrawal of Russian troops from the southern Ukrainian city after months of occupation.
“We are advancing,” he told the troops. “We are ready for peace, peace for our entire country.”
He thanked the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) and other allies for their support in the war against Russia.
Zelensky posted a video on social media of celebrations in the city of Kherson.
Amid flags, a crowd chants “ZSU”, the acronym for the country’s armed forces. Along with the publication, the head of state wrote: “Wow. Kherson is ours.”
On Friday morning, Russia announced that its army had completed a “strategic withdrawal” from the city.
