In a late-night speech on Wednesday, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy declared that the northeastern Kherson city neighborhoods of Novovoskresenske, Novohryhorivka, and Petropavlivka had been “liberated” as a result of Russian soldiers withdrawing from front lines in the south and east.
When the 193-member UN General Assembly debates whether to condemn Russia’s annexation of Donetsk and Luhansk in the east and Kherson and Zaporizhzhia in the south after holding referendums there, Russia is pleading for a secret vote rather than a public vote.

On Wednesday, Putin approved a measure integrating the territories into Russia.
According to Ukraine, a forcible illegal seizure of its territory will never be tolerated. The referendums, according to Kyiv and the West, were rigged elections staged under duress.
According to the new law, 18% of Ukraine’s land would be annexed by Russia.
Putin claims he wants to safeguard Russian speakers in Ukraine and ensure Russia’s security. Kiev charges Moscow of stealing land.
As Putin and other officials have stated, Russia may use nuclear weapons to defend its territory, including the annexation of the provinces, which increases the likelihood that the war will escalate as a result of Russia’s decision to annex the regions.
Zelenskiy said in his statement that he and his senior military officers met to consider reclaiming all of the territory that Russia has occupied. Ukraine has stated that it will not be intimidated by any nuclear threats.
Zelenskiy addressed the pro-Moscow forces in Russian after switching from Ukrainian. He informed them that they had already lost.
“Ukrainians are aware of their cause. And more and more Russians are coming to the realization that they must die just because Putin does not want to put an end to the war, he said.

The whole terrain of the Ukrainian provinces was depicted on a map of “new territories” issued by the state news agency RIA, however some areas were marked as being under Ukrainian military control.
The military of Ukraine in the south reported that its troops had destroyed nine tanks, 17 armored vehicles, and four howitzers in addition to killing at least 58 Russian militants.
According to regional governor Oleksandr Starukh, seven Russian missiles fired overnight against the city of Zaporizhzhia damaged or destroyed multiple structures, started fires, and injured several people.
He continued, “Rescuers are already removing individuals from under the wreckage.
