(ANSA) - KIEV, JUN 18 - The Ukrainian president, Volodymyr Zelensky, visited the war-damaged Ukrainian city of Mykolaiv this morning, on his first visit to South Africa since the Russian invasion.
The bureau has released a video of Zelensky observing a badly damaged building and then meeting with local officials.
Mykolaiv, a port city of nearly half a million inhabitants before the war, is still under Ukrainian control, but is close to the Russian-occupied Kherson region.
It remains a target of Moscow because it is on the route to Odessa, the largest port in Ukraine.
