A railway link between the Ukrainian capital Kyiv and the recently reclaimed city of Kherson will restart on Friday, a week after a Russian retreat, a senior official said Friday.

“The first train departs today at 10:14 pm (2014 GMT) from Kyiv and will arrive in Kherson at approximately at 09:00 am (0700 GMT) tomorrow,” the deputy head of the Kherson region Sergiy Khlan said on social media.
