KYIV: Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Tuesday likened the recent liberation of the southern city of Kherson to the Allied landings in France on D-Day during World War 2, saying both were watersheds on the road to eventual victory.

Speaking via video link to the Group of 20 (G20) summit in Indonesia's resort island of Bali, Zelenskyy called Ukraine's retaking of Kherson "reminiscent of many battles in the past, which became turning points in the wars of the past."
