KYIV, Ukraine: Russia agreed Thursday (Friday in Manila) to help residents leave a region it 'annexed' in a sign of success for Ukraine's counter-offensive, as the EU warned Moscow's army would be 'annihilated' if the Kremlin uses nuclear weapons.

Moscow's decision to assist people in leaving Kherson came a day after Kyiv said it had retaken five settlements in the southern region.
