The president also said the only way for the Ukraine war to end is for Putin to recall his forces. "But at the same time — it is very important to give this in conjunction — President Putin has been, is and remains open for contacts, for negotiations.

Ukraine's armed forces swept through southern villages and towns on a march to retake the key city of Kherson Friday as Russia said its military had completed a humiliating retreat from the area. It follows a grinding Ukrainian counteroffensive and a race by Russia to relocate more than 100,000 residents in the area. But Kyiv officials remained wary, warning that Russian forces could inflict severe military and civilian damage through artillery strikes and mines left behind as they pulled out. TwitterThe Antonivskiy Bridge is the only road crossing from the city of Kherson to the eastern bank of the river, where Russian forces have now established their new defensive lines. The Institute for the Study of War, a Washington-based think tank, estimated that Ukrainian forces progressed 4.3 miles in some areas of Kherson Oblast (meaning county or region) on Thursday alone.

Russian sources suggested that its forces are about to retreat from the strategic city of Kherson.

The Kremlin previously ordered the transition to rubles starting May 1, when the region was fully under Russian control. But Ukraine's military has taken back large swaths of southern and northeastern territory in recent months. The city of Kherson was the first major Ukrainian city and only regional capital that came under Russian control in the early stages of the war. The Kremlin's state-run media said earlier this year that Kherson would use rubles for transactions starting May 1. Late last month, Russian President Vladimir Putin illegally declared the annexation of Kherson and other Ukrainian areas still under partial occupation, meaning Moscow now considers them part of Russian territory.

The Russian-installed deputy governor of the Kherson region has insisted Russia is not surrendering the city of Kherson, despite calling on residents to evacuate immediately.

In a further development, the acting governor of the region Vladimir Saldo told the Rossiya-24 TV channel on Wednesday that entry to the Kherson region for civilians will be very limited for seven days due to the turbulent situation. "Only those who will be given a pass by the commandant's office" will be able to enter the region, Saldo said, according to comments reported by the Tass news agency.
