KYIV, June 11 (Reuters) - Russian forces shelled three small boats taking elderly residents to safety from inundated areas of southern Ukraine, killing three people and wounding 10, the regional governor said on Sunday. Kherson region's Ukrainian-appointed governor, Oleksander Prokudin said Russian forces were "deliberately trying to disrupt rescue efforts". "Today, terrorists opened fire on three boats that were used to rescue 21 people from the flooded (eastern) bank," Prokudin said on Ukrainian television. Russian forces, he said, were now shelling residents seeking evacuation from submerged areas. "(They have) cast people deliberately into flooded towns and villages and then shell boats used to try to evacuate them," Zelenskiy said in his nightly video address.

KHERSON, Ukraine, Feb 23 (Reuters) - Vladyslav Antoniuk felt euphoric three months ago when he returned to his home city Kherson, the day Ukrainian troops rolled back in and jubilant residents waved blue and yellow flags in the main square to celebrate. Russian soldiers, who retreated just across the Dnipro River, have not been pushed back further and are pummelling the city daily with artillery. On Wednesday, Russian shells hit a bus stop in the city centre, killing six people and wounding a dozen. He said his administration evacuates about 100 people from the city daily on trains and buses on a voluntary basis.
