The Ukrainian military has retaken control of dozens of villages in the south of the country, but it says Russian forces are pushing back against its counteroffensive.
Despite the fighting, Ukrainian civilians have begun returning to their destroyed homes.
Al Jazeera’s @Charles Stratford met some of them in Arkhanhelske, in the Kherson region, Ukraine.

Glory to ukraine 🇺🇦
The Putins soldiers is the same with putins evilmind ,a monster,a destroyer and a killer .God will punish you Putin and all soldiers of Russia 😡😡😡
As I am watching this video I asked myself if Putin ever thinks of all the people who have died and all the suffering he is causing and I wonder if he ever thinks what awaits him at the time of his death, I fear he has no conscience, he is actually a monster. I pray for all things to go back to normal and I pray for all of you, my heart suffers seeing all your homes in ruins.
That’s strange because that also runs through my mind a lot too.
@Jose Benavidez maybe if we all could think very hard concentrating on him and just repeat stop.
Where is the UN os all of this
Charles Stratford of AJ is now added to my very short list of war correspondents worth following, along with Don Arleth with TVP and Nick Connolly of DW. But the ladies of hromadske, especially the intrepid Nastya Stanko whose frank and blunt output I try never to miss, are topping them all. Hopefully some of their colleagues can take time to view their exemplary work, to see how it is done. But all of you I have named do get the Rule Number One about ALL journalism: >never make yourself the story<. Thank you for that. American and British networks have totally forgotten this, and as a result their glitzy simplistic clueless self-promoting gibberish from this war is embarrassing to watch.
ITV has some good reporting too
Alex Crawford from Sky UK. Orla Guerin BBC. Lindsey Hilsom Channel 4 UK. These are all excellent reporters. There is also a very good male Ukrainian reporter from Radio Free Europe. I am sorry I don’t recall his name, (Maxim)?
The world will never forget Russia’s pointless brutality.
This deplorable war simply means that ” one man’s meat is another man’s poison”. If West leaders knowingly or recklessly pressurize Mr. Putin. Let’s not forget that many people must be going to die for their leaders bad leadership thinking.
No. The leader of Russia CHOSE to do this. Russia was not being attacked. It might have felt threatened but not by direct threat, because Ukraine was yet another country moving away from Russia. Putin made the decision. It rests with him and him alone.
The Russian Orcs will commit scorched Earth as they run away. In fact they will kill civilians en masse as they destroy what is left of Kherson. They will essentially kidnap people who “evacuate”. It is imperative that the Russian Army be drawn in, cut off and killed.
It’s going to take billions maybe trillions to rebuild Ukraine and Russia must be forced to pay for what they destroyed, plus all their war crimes….
Herr Putin and his thugs obviously did not know the first thing about taking over a territory. You simply do not destroy what you hope to retain with annexation.
Well, they’ve been shelling Russia for eight years, so what else do they expect. What goes around comes around.
@RUS nobody other than Russia wanted this war
Putin must be punished
There is no words I can say to comfort the Ukranian civilians. I know the have a Spirit to carry on.
Al Liars of Al Jazeera, can only lie as their masters Al CNN.
Bees can be considered livestock?
Al Jazeera supports UKRAINE NEO NAZIS its hilarious
The Russians be it the tax payers , the wealthy even the politicians should be made to compensate , rebuild and apologise to Ukraine because the price Russians will have to pay for having a lunatic mentally unstable leader such as Putin .
NUKE KIEV
the GOD-UNFORGIVABLE & UNSCRUPULOUS DEEDS of the USA
I didn’t write this but I totally agree…
Hopefully someday the US will pay a heavy price for this.
Dear USA,
“You dropped two atomic bombs in Japan, burned thousands of people, who are suffering to this day, just to show the then Soviet Union that you have nukes and it must be shut down.
In Vietnam you burned and burned and burned with the napalm bombs, the forests the infrastructure of a whole state, you left nothing standing, you dropped the bombs in the cities and villages destroying everything.
You destroyed Yugoslavia by bombing Belgrade itself, throwing bombs at homes, hospitals, without counting a thing.
You tried Milosevich as a criminal in The Hague with a trial of parody and killed him, letting the Ucekades baptize Kosovo as you like..
You forced the Turks to invade Cyprus, an independent state, and even 50 years now, we can’t even find the bones of the missing ones putting us to negotiate to this day, with our butcher alleged to solve the Cyprus issue, while fine it suits you well.
You let the Turks roam the Aegean, question, the islands and tell us “find each other” while you pastels know well what’s happening, and who threatens whom.
You destroyed Libya, along with your European friends because you didn’t like Gaddafi, and they didn’t give you the oil at the price of a jamba.
You armed and funded your Islamic State proxies to fight six whole years of “civil war” in Syria because you didn’t like Assad, and you were bothered by the naval base of the Russians in Syria and Assad turned out to be very Russian.
You invaded Iraq allegedly to find the nukes, and in Afghanistan, to find your former friend Bin Laden and demolished both countries, bombing uncontrollably cities and villages, destroying everything, sending a missile to Baghdati U.S. Cruise from your dolphins that burst into the shelters, killing women and children. Who could forget that night.
Are you talking about democracy you bastards?
You who built the perfect center for physical and mental torture in Guantanamo?
You hanged Hussein without trial, he who was your best friend and ally until a few years before that.
You who with your wars and politics created ISIS and the Taliban.
You who overturned Salvador Allende with the bloodiest coup in Chile, a democratic elected president, killing him inside the presidential palace, and installing Pinochet’s most violent dictatorship.
You who when the Berlin wall fell, promised Russia that NATO would not extend an inch and reached it to the legs of Russia, despite your promises and agreements.
Are you talking about Democracy, peace, and war crimes of Russia you lying traitors, murderers of innocent people?
You filled all of Europe with Pershing missiles and cruises surrounding Russia which you ignored.
You didn’t adhere to a single condition from the Minsk agreement, while on the contrary Russia obeyed all of them.
A lifetime of F(edited)er’s and hypocrites.
Even Hitler, your own multinational funded him and made him a beast.
So only Ukraine was missing from the puzzle, to complete NATO’s nest around Russia to drown it.
Since 2009 Putin has been warning you that Ukraine is a red line.
In 2014 with the coup you underwent. You overthrew Yanukovich, elected president, using Nazis and fascist clashes to kill Ukraine, and you installed a puppet government that was intended to prepare the country for the country entry into NATO and the EU while you knew it was a red line for Russia.
Are you talking about democracy and invasions in any state, you bastards?
Today’s Russia, if it wanted, within half a day, could make the entire Ukraine, muddy.
But he doesn’t do it.
He doesn’t want to kill, just people. Ukrainians with Russians are brothers people.
And this is the tragic end.
To this day, you don’t tell the truth.
You are unmerciful liars.
You are taking advantage of the pain of the Ukrainian, but also of the Russian people and misleading the world.
Yes. Russia is right. This is the truth.
She warned, shouted, asked you not to tighten the noose around her neck anymore.
But when you have to deal with NATO, creators and directors of all wars on earth, unfortunately there was no other way.
Russia is not Iraq, nor Syria. You raped her and now youre playing the victim. Were you assuming Russia would roll over and it would end quickly.
It’s a shame how the United State of America does this to the people of the world.
It is the ordinary people who pay for America’s crimes against humanity every time.
[[My soul hurts.”
Lol wait for Russian nukes.

World War III Has Begun; How It Unfolds Depends on Us
We think of the Russia-Ukraine war as a local conflict, but it is much more than that; it is a global war on multiple fronts. The war is not only a military conflict; it is also an economic war of attrition. With skyrocketing gas prices and shortage of staples, people all over the world are feeling the consequences of the war.
This war is transforming the entire modus operandi of humanity. Since the dawn of time, we have been accustomed to living by the motto, “survival of the fittest.” By and large, the rule was that the strong determined the rules, and the rules were often abusive toward the weak. Now, it seems like a new mindset has set in: Wanting something and being strong enough to take it does not mean that the world will accept it.
The war, therefore, is being fought on the inside no less, and perhaps more than on the outside. Our very makeup is changing from abusive to cooperative, from narcissistic to altruistic.
It hurts, and it will not happen without a struggle, but it is irreversible. This is the path of our evolution toward the purpose of our creation—to encompass within us all of creation. To do that, we must come to care for it, just as a mother encompasses her child through her maternal love.
The struggle to transition from our current uncaring and mean approach to all creations but ourselves, into wise and compassionate beings is called “the war of Gog and Magog” or Armageddon.
Since the war is about our inner makeup, we can fight it within us. If we object to struggling with ourselves over who will rule—the ego or love—the physical reality will force us to choose love nonetheless. However, it will do so by hurting us in a very physical way.
The war in Eastern Europe is nothing compared to what we might have to endure if we resist the process. The horrific descriptions of our sages and prophets hint at it, and we would not want to live through it.
Alternatively, we can fight this war within us without firing a single bullet. The choice is in our hands. All we need is to continue in the same direction that nature is already leading us: toward connection. If we make an effort to care for one another, even though initially we don’t, then we are moving in the right direction. If we try to resolve conflicts not with guns or even legal battles, but by strengthening the care and friendship between us, then we are saving lives and sparing torments from countless people.
In conclusion, let us try to rise above the hatred and see the human on the other side, who suffers too. Let us think that this war was given to us so we would think about each other more than we have so far. After all, were it not for this war, we would not notice one another. Now that it is here, we are no longer indifferent. Although our feelings our currently negative, now that we are aware of them, we can work on them together and turn them around. These are the wars of the Messiah who moshech [Hebrew: pulls] us out of the ego, and into mutual love.
Stay strong Ukraine people.
The devil comes to steal ,kill and destroy . 💙💛🇺🇦🇺🇦
So many amazing things…. seeing the Ukranian military planes still flying in that region is one of them. I always thought that Russia could be dominating the Ukranian skies by now.
I pray for peace.
Slava Russia 🌹🇷🇺
Time to go home Russians and leave Ukraine to the Ukrainians.
i still havent seen any nazis
Russia is still looking for them … they’re like Iraq WMDs 😂
Whatever you had once .. you will have again with the support of all NATO countries. The important thing is that you’ve come back home. Bless you
Thanks Al jezzra
Isn’t it part of Russia now??
Putin Fail Army
💛💙 Zelensky the Hero! 🤘
Where Russians go destruction follows! They add nothing just destroy everything 😤
He sounds like Jeremy Clarkson
I heard that big sigh he let out. Hopefully putin will be punished sooner then later.
You‘d really think after the second world war, nobody ever would want this kind of destruction and evil to be their legacy…
But I guess Little Vladimir isn‘t the sharpest cooky in the drawer.
How do leaders let this happen to their people…
You sound desperate.
Stop the war. Russia should totally put of every inch of ukranian soil immediately.
God bless ukrain we love you🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦❤❤❤❤❤🙏🙏🙏🇵🇭
good job ukraine
My god the Russian forces seem worse than animals, and those other guys , just disgusting
wouldn’t rebuild anything until we see what happens when the mobilized troops come from Russia.
if the mobilized Russians launch an offensive from the North it’s fair to say that half of the Ukrainian army in Kherson and Donbass will have to move to defend Kiev. this will result in a power shift back to Russia.
There is no win for innocent people in both sides. Few days ago some stupid people were celebrating and taking selfies in front of the large posters of the bridge blown by Ukrainians and also killed as many innocent Russian people. War is a very dirty game between few psychopaths and unfortunately has been part of our human history. I prey for the peace on earth 🌎
Putin show hes love!
Because of your leader Mr zelinsky hard head your country is devasted,. If Mr zelinsky love the Ukrainians, he just need to bow down and negotiated with the russians then there is no bloodshed. But your leader Mr zelinsky don’t love the Ukrainians. He opted to go to war. Bring down zelinsky
Filthy barbarous culture, imagine having that horde of filth do that to your village and homes 😕
My heart is crying. 💔 – Long live Ukraine 💙💛
@Fiddlesticks WTRussia is fighting with NATO . Ukraine is only a battlground.
@RUS Nice of you to finally acknowledge Nato’s superiority over Russia. 7 months ago the Putintrolls were a LOT more optimistic 😁
@RUS yeah that is why ukraine invaded russia oh wait
@Samp Yes Ukraine invaded Russia back in 2014. They shelled Donbas for eight years.
Soul crushing but at the same time remarkably uplifting to know their spirit and determination to live free has not been broken. I sincerely hope that Russia doesn’t try it again.
Putin must pay the price for this. What a despicable man.
All wars are terrible and evil, but this one is also pointless and illogical.
Was there no one in the Russian upper level of power who did not see that this could not end well?
I suspect (and hope) that a serious illness will visit Putin soon
You do realize that they’re eventually going to be run out of there again or resolve themselves to living under Russian rule.
This thing isn’t going away.
Make Russians pay for your grief..
This is the time when Ukrainians have to help each other and build together i am sure the west will help come the end of the war, in the meantime stay strong SLAVA UKRAINE
HI RUSIA…URA…URA..
USE YOUR NUCLEAR…
SHOT 6.753 NUCLEAR FOR NATO AND AMERICA…
THE END…
The axis of evil: Russia, Iran and Saudi Arabia.
That imperial war between the US and Russia is terrific for both sides of the civi war. The wolfovitz doctrine is leading us to ww3
Russian army is animal army with a monster commander.
Slava Ukraine!
Slava Russia 🪆
Happy to see this amazing 🤩 how’s the taste
God Bless the people of Ukraine. May all the people of good faith, around the world, help them with livestock, and other necessary items to restore the Ukrainian society..
Putin Russia are criminal’s, plain and simple. Corrupt arises.
Much strength to the people of Ukraine. They have witnessed the brunt of this unjust war by Putin and his forces.
Blame the NATO and Ukrainian President for the devastation of Ukraine at the hands of Russia. Had the Ukrainian President remained neutral as advised by President Putin,the war would not have taken place at all. The people of Ukraine should remove their President from power and elect a new President who would accept the terms set by Putin for ending the war. Otherwise, the war will go on without an end and Ukraine will be further devastated due to the supply of weapons to it by NATO countries. Only Ukraine will suffer more and more and not Russia or NATO countries.
This breaks my heart so much. God bless Ukraine
It’s a propaganda. They will rebuid nothing as Ukrainians have no money at all. Ukraine is the poorest state in Europe😅
This is absolutely devastating and sort of equally inspiring how their spirit remains determined. God bless and restore these people and their homes
Putin is a hundred times worse than Hitler by threatening to use nuclear weapons and planing to forcibly deport residents of Kherson Oblast to various parts of Russia , more evidence of ethnic cleansing and possible genocide.
👊👊🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦👊👊
I don’t think they will have it for long, the Russians are countering the Ukrainians counter
Russia will never be able to repair their image for a long long time bacause of one small man’s madness.
Helft der Ukraine – Verteilt diesen Satz auf allen Kanälen und in allen Sprachen:
“Putin ist ein kleiner, alter Glatzkopf”
Englisch
Help Ukraine – Share this sentence on all channels and in all languages:
‘Putin is a little old bald guy’
Looks like the aljazira reporter didn’t get the memo: you trespassing dude!?
*Russia🇷🇺 occupied Kherson, Crimea, Luhansk, Donetsk.*
*Israel🇮🇱 occupied West Bank & Golan.*
End occupation & Peace!!
A daily thing in Palestine..No doc??
Putin accepts the blood of christ. It’s the faith that matters to jc not the action. Putin is going to heaven.
Win Ukraine hai do fikar be fikar 2 fikar
Soon Russia will nuke Ukraine and there will be no more Ukraine left to pick up .
I wouldn’t get too comfortable. Russia just spanked you for 5 days of missle attacks on public infrastructure for one attack on his bridge. he warned you then. he’s warning you now. your pride is getting in the way of you listening.
its heartbreaking to see Ukrainians destroyed by war. (homes, livelihood, community etc.) They salvaged whatever they have.
God bless the defenders of freedom! Glory to Ukraine! Shame to Putin’s Russia!
Building Kherson ⁉️ really ⁉️ Russians have actually pushed back Ukrainians from their positions ‼️‼️‼️
Russia was pushed back 50 km and recently retook about 5 km. It won’t last. Russian forces have their backs to the Dnipro River with no working bridges.
So you heard what soldiers from Donbass told this guy? You beat us, now we’ll beat you, it’s your payback time.
That’s what has been happening in Donbass since 2014.
In 2014 Putin invaded the Donbas to assist the militias that illegally seized power there. As a result, over 1.3 million Ukrainians were forced to flee to Ukrainian held territory.
How do they know it is finished?
Ukrainians never give up. Send the Russian soldiers home
This is war, and in war people die and homes are destroyed. There’re no good guys in these situations. I don’t know what drives men to kill each other over dirt which exists everywhere. What I do know is that taking sides and demonizing people will only continue the cycle of hatred. Good men and women can forgive and accept hardship in order to move on to a better future. I hope these people can find some semblance of hope and peace in the coming future. No one should have to lose everything for the sake of a few power hungry politicians who demand everyone kill for them while they sit back and live in luxury. Putin and Zelenski should both be on the front lines, I doubt it would be fun to them anymore when they see the results of their futile war. Unfortunately that will likely never happen and more will continue to die. Our ancestors are weeping right now and no one can hear it.
Thank you for your empathetic reports!
I don’t know how to describe the sick brained Putin damaged millions of Ukrainians life’s. Kill, torture, rape children and women and kill, destroy homes and communities, kidnap children or replace people to guwlax or Siberia or just kill….
The story of Russian barbarism is out of my mind.
Whatever you say about Russia and Russian, you must add, and pigs can fly, to be credible.
The civilians want peace but the politicians only see war and making crazy money from it
RUSSIA is a terrorist
✊️✊️🇺🇦
Shame. These people have suffered so much. What for other than that man’s ego.
Russia is a terrorist stat. They are murderers and every singel military and the Kreml go to Haag and then lite time

Notsees are gonna pay twice for the revelations 3-9ers
There could of continued to be a Ukraine. The u.s. inc decided to have it destroyed instead. Fighting to the last notsee is a good thing.
Well, at least the orc spirit hasn’t gone into the Ukranian heart. Slave Ukraine!
