Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky claimed investigators had exposed more than war crimes in the Kherson regions since Russia’s withdrawal.
In his Sunday night video, Zelensky said: “Investigators have already documented more than 400 Russian war crimes. The bodies of dead civilians and foot soldiers were found. “
He added: “The Russian military has left the same savagery that it has done in other parts of the country it entered. “
This comes as Putin has taken a drastic step involving “schoolchildren,” according to the British Ministry of Defense, as Russian forces “suffer massive losses. “
Putin’s Education Minister Sergey Kravstov said that “military education will return to Russian schools from September 2023,” according to the British Defense Ministry.

In its most recent briefing circular, the British Ministry of Defense discussed Russia’s plan to reintroduce the army into schools.
The Defense Ministry said: “On November 9, 2022, Education Minister Sergey Kravstov said that military education would return to Russian schools, starting in September 2023.
“It echoes a Soviet-era curriculum where academics had compulsory military education, a program that ended in 1993. This education included contingencies for a chemical or nuclear attack, first aid, and enjoyment in handling and firing Kalashnikov rifles.
“Russian officials tried to revive this formation in 2014 after Russia’s invasion of Crimea. They hoped that the initiative would have the quality of the recruits.
“Eight years later, little has been replaced and the quality of Russian recruits remains poor, with low morale and limited education. An educational program is being developed and will be finalized by the end of 2022. It will then go through a validation process.
“The Russian MOD supports this technique by specifying that no less than 140 hours consistent with the educational year shall be faithful to this training.
“This education likely aims to prepare students for military skills as they go through the era of conscription and increase participation in mobilization and recruitment campaigns.
“This initiative is also very likely to be part of a broader task to inculcate an ideology of patriotism and accept it as true in the public establishments of the Russian population. “

The UN-brokered Black Sea grain deal, which promises Ukrainian grain can be exported worldwide, is set to expire on Friday.
However, Russia has still indicated whether it needs the deal renewed or eliminated altogether.
This comes after the Kremlin suspended the deal, accusing Ukraine of carrying out “terrorist attacks” in Crimea.
Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Vershinin said: “The terrorist attacks that the Ukrainian side carried out on the Crimean bridge should not be mentioned here.
“And the terrorist attack in Sevastopol, where the ships supplying a humanitarian room that dries up cargo ships or other ships that are part of the implementation of this Black Sea grain agreement are stationed. “

One of the biggest surprises of the war is Russia’s failure in its air superiority over Ukraine.
A number of untrained pilots, poor communication and data channels and fatal Western surface-to-air missile batteries have noticed that Russian plans explode daily in the skies.
In March, footage showed the burning wreckage of Russian planes and the terrified faces of Putin’s pilots as they were detained and civilians after being ejected from their planes.
Footage shared online shows airmen tied with their hands behind their backs, some bloodied after their desperate escapes.
According to Kyiv Independent, Russia has lost a total of 226 fighter jets and 234 army helicopters in Ukraine and 62,000 soldiers.
Russia’s lack of air superiority was laid bare in a series of clips showing downed planes online.
In April, footage captured the moment when a Russian fighter jet appears to be spinning toward the ground in a deadly spiral after being hit by a Ukrainian missile.
In the same month, a similar Russian fighter jet, the Su-35S Flanker-E, was shot down in a box in the Kharkiv region near the town of Izyum.
And in one case, Russia accused of shooting down one of its $36 million fighter jets on the anniversary of the downing of MH-17, dealing a major blow to Putin.
Russia’s first-class missile cruiser, the Moskva, was destroyed through a wonderful bombardment of Neptune missiles launched from shore, with reports indicating that 40 sailors were killed and two hundred wounded in April.
The shipment, which had the idea of being untouchable, played a fatal role in the war by bombing Ukrainian cities from positions at sea before sinking near Snake Island.
Humiliating photographs surfaced that appeared to show the 611-foot Moskva ship with smoke billowing from it and a rescue tugboat nearby.
The Moskva had become mythical among the defenders of Ukraine after a group of heavily armed border guards said, “Russian warship, fuck off!”when he ordered them to surrender.
The Kremlin has admitted one death in Moskva, but many more are believed to have been killed.
Ukrainians in Kherson hid their flags as Russian forces occupied the area.
A girl living in Kherson noticed her digging her Ukrainian flag under the pavement once Russian forces withdrew.
The governor of the Kherson region, Yaroslav Yanushevych, said on Ukrainian television that Russian forces “undermined all critical infrastructure” in Kherson, Reuters reports.
He said: “The enemy has mined all infrastructure objects.
“We will meet in a few days and (then) open the city.
Ukrainian troops arrived in central Kherson on Friday after Russia abandoned the only regional capital it had captured since its invasion began in February.
Dmitry Medvedev, deputy chairman of Russia’s Security Council, said in a statement that only Russia was fighting NATO and the West.
Medvedev said: “It is today’s Russia that shapes the long-term global order, not the hard-to-understand states with Britain or Kyiv. And this new egalitarian global order will be built. “
“Only Russia is fighting NATO and the Western world. Therefore, any parallels with the afterlife are conditional. “
Members of Putin’s brutal army reportedly beat a Russian recruit to death with a hammer after he entered the Ukrainian army.
Convicted murderer Yevgeny Nuzhin, 55, is seen crushed in the face with a hammer in an uncensored barbaric video in what is an extrajudicial killing through the infamous Wagner group.
He is believed to have been killed “for treason. “
In September, there were reports that the convicted murderer defected to Ukraine shortly after arriving to fight for Vladimir Putin at the front.
He spoke on video at the moment he felt like “cannon fodder” in Russian forces.
Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba said Saturday that the West is on track for a “joint victory” over Russia, praising the army’s help in making Kherson’s reconquest possible.
The Ukrainian national anthem resounded in Kherson after Moscow withdrew its forces from the city, the first major urban center to fall after President Vladimir Putin ordered the invasion in February.
“There were very few people who believed Ukraine would survive,” Kuleba said in his meeting with U. S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken on the sidelines of a Southeast Asian summit in Cambodia.
“Only in combination can we be triumphant and expel Russia from Ukraine. We’re on our way,” Kuleba said.
“It happens, and our victory will be our not unusual victory: a victory of all peace-loving nations around the world. “
Ukrainian forces have obtained bloodless weather kits from the UK as troops return to their home countries after training.
They were supplied with 12,000 sleeping bags, 7,000 bloodless weather kits and 150 heated tents.
They will get 25,000 bloodless kits by mid-December.
US National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan told reporters: “Ukrainians have just won an ordinary victory in which the only regional capital that Russia seized from this war is now again under a Ukrainian flag. And that’s pretty remarkable. “
“So, it’s a wonderful time. And in fact it’s not the end of the line, yet it’s a wonderful moment. And it’s thanks to the incredible tenacity and competence of Ukrainians, through the relentless and united United States and our allies. “
Ben Wallace, the UK defence secretary, said that despite Ukraine’s “momentum”, the Russian military is “far” from giving up.
Ben Wallace told Times Radio: “Ukraine has momentum. It’s not a big step forward, however, the direction is with the Ukrainians. “
“No one underestimates Russia. Russia is about surrendering. “
