A crowd sang a Ukrainian patriotic song with a Ukrainian serviceman at Freedom Square in Kherson Saturday, as the city was freed by the Ukrainian Armed Forces. Britain’s Defense Ministry said Sunday in its daily intelligence update on Ukraine that Russian Education Minister Sergey Kravtsov has said that “military training will return to Russian schools, beginning in September 2023.” This training included “contingencies for a chemical or nuclear attack, first aid and experience handling and firing Kalashnikov rifles.” According to the report, “Russian officials attempted to revive this training in 2014 following Russia's invasion of Crimea. It was hoped that the initiative would improve the quality of conscripts. Eight years later, little has changed, and the quality of Russian conscripts remains poor, with low morale and limited training.” Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy hailed the victory of Ukrainian troops in Kherson Saturday. In his nightly video address, Zelenskyy said that defense forces have won back control of more than 60 settlements in the Kherson region and promised that Ukrainian troops will “liberate our entire land from the invaders.” But the Ukrainian president also cautioned vigilance. While people are celebrating in Kherson, farther east in the Donetsk area, he said, brutal battles are being fought every day. https://www.voanews.com/a/russia-to-launch-military-training-in-its-schools-in-2023-uk-says/6832210.html » Subscribe to VOA News: https://bit.ly/3KIPysi » Watch more VOA News video: https://www.youtube.com/c/VOANews Voice of America (VOA) is the largest U.S. international broadcaster, providing news and information in more than 40 languages to an estimated weekly audience of 236.8 million people.
