Military expert Oleg Zhdanov commented on whether the daily shelling of Kherson by the Russian occupiers will stop before the summer. 

Zhdanov said this on the air of his video blog.

He noted that the enemy shelling will stop only when the Armed Forces push back the invaders on the left bank of the Dnieper to a sufficient distance so that the weapons of the occupiers do not reach there.

"Unfortunately, it is impossible to say whether or not it will end (the shelling of Kherson by the summer - ed.). I will definitely say that

the Armed Forces of Ukraine push the Russian occupation troops away from the left bank of the Dnipro River to a sufficient distance." - said a military expert.

In this context, he cited the example of shelling of Kharkiv. 

"While the Russian troops were stationed in the immediate vicinity of the city and the Russian artillery reached Kharkiv, it fired from all the barrels in the city of Kharkiv. There was shelling there almost 24 hours a day and from all types of artillery. Then we pushed the Russians back a little - the barrel artillery stopped working, started to work. Then

, but it is being fired upon," Zhdanov described the situation.

"Therefore, I will definitely say that only when the armed forces launch a counteroffensive, then you have a chance that the shelling will stop. Until then, unfortunately, the city will be under shelling," the expert summarized.

We will remind, according to the General Staff of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, on the evening of February 14, the Russians fired more than 25 rounds of anti-aircraft missiles, in particular, at civilian objects in Kherson, Ochakov, and Beryslav.

Shells damaged private and high-rise buildings, there are injured.

According to Kherson OVA, the occupiers shelled a medical facility for the second time in a day - an ambulance station in Beryslav, where the driver was injured.
