Ukraine-Russia War: More settlements in the Kherson region in the south of Ukraine have been liberated, according to Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky. According to AFP, Zelensky claimed that three villages in the southern Kherson region of his country had been retaken from Russian forces. Vladimir Putin, the president of Russia, has sworn that his country will stabilise the situation in the four regions of Ukraine that it has annexed.
In a video message, Zelensky stated that “Novovoskresenske, Novogrygorivka, and Petropavlivka to the north east of Kherson city… were liberated in the recent 24 hours.”
On Wednesday, Putin officially annexed the four Ukrainian provinces of Luhansk, Donetsk, Kherson, and Zaporizhzhia to Russia by signing constitutional decrees.

The following are the story’s major developments:
- As Ukraine forces took back additional settlements in Kherson, one of the partially Russian-occupied southern districts that Moscow claims to have annexed, Russia continues to experience losses. The president of Ukraine reported that senior military officials met to discuss ways to reclaim all of the territory that Russia had captured.
- Putin gave his signature on a bill on Wednesday incorporating the four Ukrainian areas into Russia. Dmitry Peskov, a spokesman for the Kremlin, promised that Russia would reclaim the territory it had given to Ukraine and that it would “never give it back.”
- Vladimir Putin stated on Wednesday that he anticipated the situation in the Ukrainian territories that the Kremlin has annexed to “stabilise,” notwithstanding Moscow’s military losses and the loss of many important towns to Kyiv.
- Russia has made the decision to stop supplying oil to nations who want to cap the price of its crude. “We think it’s not a good idea for us to supply those customers who will benefit from price caps with goods with the adoption of such a tool. According to state-run news agency RIA Novosti, Russian Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Novak said, “We will continue to supply exclusively to those that provide market-based pricing methods.
- Meanwhile, the executive branch of the European Union in Brussels announced on Wednesday that the bloc had approved a fresh round of sanctions against Russia in response to its conflict with Ukraine. Trade with Russia has been restricted in terms of steel and tech products, as well as additional personnel at the Russian defence ministry.
- Aimed at displacing Russian troops from a number of towns and villages in the southern Kherson region and the eastern separatist strongholds of Lugansk and Donetsk, Ukrainian forces have received military support from the West. Ukrainian forces have retaken thousands of square kilometres of land since the beginning of September, including dozens of communities in the last several days alone. Russian troops have retreated in the majority of the territories as a result of this.
- Putin has given orders to grab control of Zaporizhzhia, a province under Russian sovereignty, which houses Europe’s largest nuclear power facility. Despite being taken over by the Russians, the plant is still managed by Ukrainian engineers. Rafael Grossi, the chief of the U.N. nuclear inspector, will visit Moscow to talk about plant safety, according to the Russian state-run news agency TASS.
- In a further defeat for Putin, the Kazakh government rejected Moscow’s demand that they expel the Ukrainian ambassador for remarks about murdering Russians. In an interview, Petro Vrublevskiy, the Ukrainian ambassador in Astana, stated that “the more Russians we murder now, the fewer of them our descendants will have to kill.” This statement sparked a controversy.
- President Joe Biden of the United States promised Ukraine a new $625 million security assistance package. The US’s plan to deploy further military assistance to Ukraine, according to a warning from Moscow, “increases the likelihood of a direct military collision” between Russia and the West.
