Civilians in Ukraine's Kherson region are preparing for the end of a localized ceasefire. The truce was brokered with help from U.S. first lady Melania Trump and ends Sunday evening. It allowed evacuations in Oleshky. About 2,000 civilians were in Oleshky when the truce began. They could evacuate to Ukrainian or Russian-controlled areas or remain with replenished supplies. Russian and Ukrainian drone attacks continue meanwhile. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said that Russia targets Ukraine's energy systems. That has left many without power. The local theater continues performances in Kherson to offer hope and unity.
