Russia Moves Ukrainians From Captured Kherson as Moscow’s Grip Weakens

DNIPRO, Ukraine—Russian-backed authorities began moving Ukrainian civilians from the captured city of Kherson to farther behind the front lines on Wednesday, in a sign of Russia’s weakening grip on key occupied territories after weeks of a swift Ukrainian military offensive.

Russian state media broadcast images of civilians lining up to board ferryboats to take them from Kherson to the east bank of the Dnipro River, territory that is more firmly under Russian control.
