No Ukrainian armed forces remain in the southern city of Kherson, its mayor said, as Russian forces infiltrated the council building more than a week after Moscow launched a full-scale invasion against Ukraine.

The mayor of Kherson, Igor Kolykhaev, said in a statement that he urged Russian soldiers not to shoot civilians after they infiltrated the city administration building.
