Kherson fell under complete control of the Russians earlier this month but Ukrainian troops have mobilised to take the city back 'by the end of today.'
The takeover was later confirmed by city mayor Igor Kolykhayev, who on March 2 said in a statement: ‘There were armed visitors in the city executive committee today.
However, speculation Ukraine could fight to win back Kherson comes after the country’s president, Volodymyr Zelensky, gave an address on the ongoing battle with Russian forces overnight. The rumoured operation comes after Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky marked ‘powerful blows’ to Russia by his country’s forces Zelensky claimed 16,000 troops have been killed by Ukraine in comparison to Russia’s figure of 1,351 – numbers which have been hard for independent fact-checkers to verify.
