Videos posted on social media showed Ukrainians taking to the streets of Kherson to celebrate the arrival of the Ukrainian army following a Russian withdrawal.
Kherson, the first major city taken by Russia in the early days of its February invasion, has long been a goal of Ukrainian forces, being the target of countless major offensives.

We are regaining Kherson. Our defenders are approaching the city. Special units are already in the city. The people of Kherson were waiting. They never gave up on Ukraine.
"This day is hard for me personally. The entire administration of our channel participated in the capture of Kherson and the region," one Russian Telegram channel said."My personal day of shame and anger."
