december, i think it became pretty clear for us quite quickly that, you know, what we've seen about it before in the — from november onwards from when it was liberated, was really the stories ofjubilation, of people saying, "yeah, we're still under attack, "but we'll endure this". but then, we were there on a day when, according to ukrainian official numbers, 41 mortars landed in the city of kherson. you know, we can't verify that because we didn't count it but we were there and it was continuous. this is a constant sound that we hear in kherson of artillery fire being exchanged. this city is essentially now pretty much on the front line, close to the river, which has become the de facto front line in the south.
