War in Ukraine: Watermelons Go Viral in Official Updates on Liberation of Kherson – Watch Video

Photos and videos of people holding watermelons are increasingly appearing in many parts of the country as Ukrainians march to celebrate the withdrawal of Russian troops from Kherson.

Videos on social media show Ukrainian soldiers holding up watermelons to cheers from crowds of people.

Politicians use fruit emoji in official updates. Some companies have incorporated watermelons into their logos. Even the post office has announced plans to issue a special stamp with… the image of a watermelon.

The reason, simple. Ukrainian forces forced the Russian army to withdraw from Kherson, which with its usually high temperatures during the summer months is known for the quality of its watermelons.

The occupation of the region by the Russian forces, and the interruption of the export of the fruit had been a great economic blow for Ukraine.
