Russia urges Kherson residents to evacuate as Ukrainian military advances
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.

Australia’s multimillion-dollar campaign to attract Hollywood productions to its shores appears to be paying off.
The allure of Australia lies not only in its picturesque locations but also in its competitive financial incentives.
The government offers generous rebates and tax breaks to international productions, making it an attractive proposition for filmmakers looking to maximise their budgets.
Despite the recent intake of Hollywood productions down under such as ‘The Fall Guy’ and ‘Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga’, Aussie independents are still finding the space to carve their own creative path.
Rob Fantozzi joined the program to discuss the latest in Hollywood, and showcased his own upcoming project – ‘Omerta‘. #featured
