KHERSON, Ukraine — Natalia Kristenko’s dead body lay covered in a blanket in the doorway of her apartment building for hours overnight. City workers were at first too overwhelmed to retrieve her as they responded to a deadly barrage of attacks that shook Ukraine’s southern city of Kherson.
“They lived so well, they lived differently,” she told The Associated Press. “But they died in one day.” Soldiers in the region had warned that Kherson would face intensified strikes as Russian troops dig in across the Dnieper River. On Friday morning people sifted through what little remained of their destroyed houses and shops. Containers of food lined the floor of a shattered meat store, while across the street customers lined up at a coffee shop where residents said four people died the night before.
People have become so desperate they’re finding some salvation amid the wreckage. Outside an apartment building that was badly damaged, residents filled buckets with water that pooled on the ground. Workers at the morgue used puddles to clean their bloody hands. Outside shelled apartment buildings residents picked up debris and frantically searched for relatives while paramedics helped the injured.
