[1/5] The first train from Kyiv to Kherson arrives after Russia's military retreat from the city, at the main train station in Kherson, Ukraine November 19, 2022.
Ukrainian forces liberated Kherson from Russian occupation on Nov. 11 in what amounted to another major battlefield setback for Moscow.
It had been the only regional capital captured by Russian forces since the Feb. 24 invasion.
The event included a performance by Ukrainian rock singer Oleh Skrypka, with passengers in the crowd, including Ukrainian soldiers, singing along.
The southeastern city of Mariupol, which was heavily damaged earlier this year and is still occupied by Russian forces, is among the other destinations.
