A planned six-day ceasefire brokered by U.S. first lady Melania Trump and tied to a humanitarian aid mission in a Russian-occupied town has brought rare quiet to the Ukrainian-held city of Kherson. According to Associated Press four years ago, crowds filled the central square of this southern port city, draped in Ukrainian flags and hugging the troops who had ended months of Russian occupation. Many thought the hardest part was behind them. Instead, the war took a new form. Kherson sits directly across the Dnipro River from the Russian-occupied part of the region, and from the other bank Moscow forces have kept up regular attacks with everything from guided aerial bombs to explosive-laden first-person-view drones that prowl the skies, turning the city into a front line. So on Wednesday, after a full day of quiet, more people than usual were out on the streets enjoying the short breeze of peaceful life, though many said the calm still felt unsettling. Some carried shopping bags, stocking up on groceries. Others sawed firewood from dead trees to prepare for a hard winter, or simply strolled, finally convinced the silence was holding in a city where explosions are ever present. Municipal workers used the lull to repair and extend the netting that shields streets from drones. Kherson bears deep scars of war, with plywood covering windows and shattered glass everywhere. Billboards show faded ads, and many shops and offices have been shut for years. Kherson was among the first places where Russian forces began using short-range FPV drones against civilians. The drones carry livestreaming cameras that let operators see and choose their targets in real time. In last year’s report, the United Nations’ Independent International Commission of Inquiry on Ukraine said the attacks have repeatedly killed and wounded civilians, destroyed homes and forced thousands to flee, concluding they amount to the crimes against humanity of murder and forcible transfer. Another deadly danger remains: mines that Russian forces scatter remotely. A military press officer was killed by one in the city Tuesday, and residents walked carefully because fallen leaves now cover much of the ground and can hide explosives. Many also fear Russia will use the pause to stockpile drones and bring more forces closer, then turn them against the city. Many residents who remain say they cannot afford to start over elsewhere.
