'The city is alive': A brief peace in Kherson, but residents fear what comes next

Kherson experiences a brief respite from conflict due to a US-brokered ceasefire, allowing residents to enjoy normal activities. However, concerns grow about potential military buildups by Russian forces during this lull. Locals express joy at the temporary peace, but fear the situation may worsen once hostilities resume. Many residents return to previously dangerous areas to retrieve belongings, witnessing significant destruction. The population has drastically decreased since the invasion, and while life continues, it remains under the threat of violence. The ceasefire is set to end soon, raising alarms about renewed attacks.
