Russian shelling has damaged a landmark church in the Ukrainian city of Kherson.

In September, at a Kremlin ceremony marking Russia’s illegal annexation of four occupied or partially occupied Ukraine provinces, President Vladimir Putin referenced the concept of New Russia and noted that both Catherine and Potemkin had founded cities there.
