Kherson and frontline settlements continue to suffer from constant shelling, and since the beginning of 2024, Russians have launched dozens of missiles, drones, and bombs, causing large-scale destruction, including the undermining of the Kakhovka Dam. Despite this, about 25% of residents remain in the city, supporting each other.
