From CNN's Tim Lister
Ukrainian forces have advanced through much of the Kherson region Friday, apparently encountering little or no resistance. Ukrainian troops have also been seen in the middle of Kherson city amid scenes of jubilation. But crowds have been relatively small, reflecting the fact that many residents had left and perhaps that others are wary that the Russians might strike the city now they have left.
Ukrainian forces advanced Friday toward Kherson city, the only regional capital captured by Russian forces since the start of the invasion in February, on several fronts — and now have control of almost the entire west bank of the Dnipro River.
