Context

In February–March 2022, Russian forces occupied Kherson and almost the entire Kherson region. In November, Ukraine’s defense forces liberated the right-bank part of the Kherson region along with the regional capital.

Since then, Russian troops have systematically shelled Kherson and other de-occupied settlements in the region.
