A UN commission reports that nearly 150 civilians were killed and hundreds injured in Kherson, Ukraine, due to planned and organized Russian attacks. The attacks targeted civilians going about daily activities, with victims including men, women, and children. Ukraine's foreign ministry condemned the attacks as a tactic of terror. Russia occupied Kherson until November 2022, conducting sham referendums before withdrawing. The UN report states that Russia failed to prevent these crimes. President Putin demands Ukrainian withdrawal from Kherson for a ceasefire.
