Great surprise. I dont think it is a deliberate attempt to the rescue. It is simply that kherson has been shelled all these months. The situation clearly in the city is critical, there are some parts of it which are a lot worse than the pictures that you are looking at now. I have seen scenes from an area where the dnipro and kakhovka rivers join, which are basically underwater, the water has reached rooftop levels, so there are neighbourhoods of kherson that are completely submerged. And that very much echoes the scene elsewhere along the dnipro, where, in these little communities on either side of the river, you are seeing similar scenes, with the river suddenly massively expanded as a result of this huge volume of water that is flooding down from what was a vast reservoir above the dam. That reservoir is emptying and sending colossal quantities of water down the dnipro river and into the black sea and causing devastation as it goes, notjust in those communities where people are livi ....
