Kherson residents celebrate Russia’s retreat

People have been celebrating in the streets for 3 days in the Ukrainian city of Kherson, where Russian forces announced their complete withdrawal on November 11. People gathered in the city, which has been occupied by Russian forces for about 9 months, with Ukrainian flags, chanted slogans, sang songs, and marched. The Olena and Sergey Yahemchuk couple also attended the celebrations and expressed their joy at being able to save their city from occupation. “When the so-called referendum was held, Russian soldiers stopped people in the streets and forced them to sign papers. There were no Kherson residents who voted in the referendum,” the Yahemchuk couple said.

Netanyahu: Israel Seeks 60-Day Ceasefire for Prisoner Deal

0

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stated that Israel is pursuing a 60-day temporary ceasefire in Gaza in exchange for the release of half of the hostages, both alive and deceased. “Negotiations to permanently end the war will begin with this ceasefire,” he said in a video message.

Netanyahu emphasized that any permanent ceasefire hinges on key Israeli conditions: Hamas must disarm and be stripped of all military and administrative capabilities in Gaza. “If this can be achieved through negotiations, great. If not, we will ensure it through military force,” he added.

Netanyahu also addressed Iran, noting that if diplomacy fails to eliminate Tehran’s nuclear threat, Israel will act through “other means.” Responding to criticism over the length of the Gaza operation, he said, “We want to achieve our goals through diplomacy and force, or force alone if necessary.”
