Antonivsky Bridge
The Antonivsky Bridge is a road bridge over the Dnieper River in Kherson, one of the two main crossings linking the city to the left bank of the Kherson region. Completed in 1985, it stretches more than 1.3 km in length. Following Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine, it became strategically important as a supply route and was struck repeatedly during the fighting in southern Ukraine.

Ukrainian churches appeal to Pope Leo XIV over humanitarian crisis in occupied Oleshky
The All-Ukrainian Council of Churches and Religious Organizations has appealed to Pope Leo XIV, the UN, the ICRC and other religious bodies to intervene in what it calls a humanitarian catastrophe in Russian-occupied Oleshky in Kherson Oblast. Ukraine says the city has had no food deliveries since late May 2026, with civilians cut off from supplies and prevented from leaving, and announced it will raise the situation at the UN General Assembly High-Level Week.
