Ceasefire in Ukraine's Kherson region set to end after Russia refuses extension

The ceasefire in Ukraine's Kherson region is set to end after Russia declined an extension. This truce, the longest in the conflict, allowed humanitarian efforts in Oleshky. Residents described the ceasefire as a relief, while concerns grow about intensified fighting once it concludes. Ukrainian officials warned of increased Russian military activity during the pause. Meanwhile, both sides engaged in strikes elsewhere, with Ukraine targeting Russian oil facilities. US-mediated talks between the two nations are expected to resume soon.
