Russo-Ukraine war continues for 9 months

At the beginning of this war, the city of Kherson was captured by Russia. In the past, Ukraine recaptured the city, which was one of Ukraine's biggest successes in this war. After this it was understood that Russia would now show less aggression towards the war, but with the attacks in Kyiv, this war has now taken a new turn.
