One year after liberation, Ukrainians in Kherson hold on to hope amid constant shelling

One year since Ukraine retook the city of Kherson from occupying Russian forces, residents have grown accustomed to the sounds of the bombs

One year ago today.

We can withstand it because we know how it could be worse.”"

It was (primarily) Eastern Europeans who carried the russophobia on their backs, I'm not letting you appropriate their contribution. And second of all, when were you stabbing russian immigrants abroad for the sin of being russian and vandalising their neighbourhoods with swasticas?
