Russia has urged Kherson residents to evacuate the area, as Ukrainian military forces continue their advances

In what can only be described as a bizarre announcement, the Russian-installed leader of Ukraine’s Kherson region is calling for all civilians to evacuate immediately.

Vladimir Saldo says daily rocket attacks and advancing Ukrainian soldiers have made the area unsafe.

Asking for Moscow’s help during a recorded address, Saldo is urging residents to ‘save themselves’ before it is too late.

Shortly after, Russia’s Deputy Prime Minister also weighed in on the situation.

In a message on state television, he supported the calls to evacuate.

Ukraine’s armed forces have recently retaken several areas of north-west Kherson but rejects claims it targets its own civilians.

They are closing in on the region’s capital, Kherson city, aided by the use of U.S.-supplied rocket systems.

Russian President Vladimir Putin has also met with his Turkish counterpart – proposing a gas hub in Turkey as an alternative supply route to Europe.

This follows a number of recent problems with the Nord Stream pipelines.

It comes as Western support for Ukraine seemingly reaches an all-time high.

The strategic NATO alliance has confirmed it will provide the war-torn nation with dozens of jammers.

These are transmitters which disrupt signals in a bid to counteract Russian and Iranian drones.

Meanwhile, NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg says Russia would be crossing a “very important line” if it used nuclear weapons in Ukraine

Greenland’s PM chooses Denmark over U.S. amid Trump’s controversy over Arctic control, emphasizing sovereignty and local sentiment.


Greenland’s Prime Minister Jens‑Frederik Nielsen has delivered a clear message amid renewed pressure from the U.S. — if forced to choose between the United States and Denmark, Greenland will pick Denmark, NATO, and the EU.

Nielsen made the declaration in Copenhagen alongside Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen ahead of diplomatic talks with top U.S. officials.

The announcement comes as U.S. President Donald Trump has again stoked controversy by suggesting Washington could pursue ownership or control of Greenland, citing strategic interests in the Arctic. European leaders and Greenlandic officials have pushed back strongly against these ideas, emphasising sovereignty and respect for international law.

This standoff places Greenland’s future in the spotlight — as Copenhagen and Nuuk reaffirm their ties, local sentiment remains overwhelmingly opposed to U.S. annexation and supportive of Greenland’s own path forward.
