‘Kherson came under fire as Putin was delivering a speech in which he depicted his country as not being at war with the Ukrainian people’
A Ukrainian official said Russian strikes on February 21 killed at least six people and wounded 12 in Kherson, which is still in reach of Moscow's weaponry despite Russia's retreat from the southern Ukrainian city in November.
"Just during the bloody dictator Putin's speech... peaceful Kherson residents were injured and killed in the middle of the street, in their homes and at their workplace. At the moment, we know about 6 dead and 12 wounded," the spokesman for the Ukrainian army's southern command Vladislav Nazarov said.

When the conflict in West Asia, which began with the U.S. and Israel’s attack on Iran on February 28, escalated into a regional war, analysts said that the war would last as long as Iran had missiles or until the Gulf nations ran out of interceptors. However, with “emergency” military sales, piling monetary costs and a strained supply chain, is the U.S. becoming too constrained in its effort to keep the war going — both militarily and monetarily?
