But a limited ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine this past weekend gave residents of Kherson a break from fighting. Allowing them to walk the streets and see friends again.We go to a temporarily peaceful Kherson to hear how residents are living under the constant threat of bombing and drone attacks.Support public media with NPR+ and enjoy perks for over 25 podcasts like this one.
