Zelenskyy addressed the Ukrainian people
The Head of State recalls that it was on November 11, 2022 that our blue-and-yellow flags, which people had hidden for months, flew again on the streets of Kherson.
We remember this joy, tears, hugs. Gratitude when you see your own people returning. The occupiers fled Kherson thanks to the strength of our people. And just like that, thanks to the strength of our people, we protect life, we restore it after strikes, in fact, daily strikes. Russia daily terrorizes Kherson, ordinary people, ordinary life. And that is why Russia has no place here. Kherson is Ukraine.
Volodymyr Zelenskyy
President of Ukraine

Against this background, the head of state once again expressed gratitude to our soldiers who defended and liberated Kherson.
Ukrainians will never forget those who gave their lives for the freedom of the city.
This is forever. And just as we have not forgotten about Kherson, we remember all our cities and villages occupied by the enemy. We will do everything to return them home. Glory to our defenders! Glory to Ukraine! — Zelenskyy emphasized.
