How Russians Are Erasing Life in Ukraine’s South - with Zarina Zabrisky

Russian soldiers are targeting Ukrainian civilians, their cars, and their homes, as if they were on a safari.

On the occupied lands of the Kherson region, on the left bank of the Dnipro River, the situation is even worse. There, the Russian army is implementing the tactics of a 'drone blockade.' People cannot leave their villages, they cannot buy food, and they cannot even bury their dead. The situation is catastrophic, and Russia is continuously breaking international humanitarian law. These people must be rescued urgently.
