A | Moscow, Oct 19 (UNI) The commander of Russian forces in Ukraine says the situation in the southern city of Kherson is "difficult" and residents are to be evacuated.

General Sergei Surovikin said Ukrainian troops using Himars rockets were hitting the city's infrastructure and housing. He spoke on Russian state TV.

"The Russian army will above all ensure the safe evacuation of the population" of Kherson, he said.

His rare admission of big problems was echoed by a top local official, the BBC reported.

Russian-installed regional official Kirill Stremousov warned Kherson residents that "in the very near future" Ukrainian troops would launch an assault on the city.

"Please take my words seriously - I'm talking about evacuating as quickly as possible," he said on the Telegram messaging service. He added that people on the River Dnieper's west bank (called Dnipro in Ukraine) were most at risk.

This was confirmed by the region's Governor Vladimir Saldo, who was also appointed by Russia, in a video message.

Kherson was the first big city to fall to the Russians, back in February.

Ukrainian forces have been steadily retaking nearby territory for the past few weeks. They have pushed as far as 30km (19 miles) south along the Dnieper, threatening to trap Russian troops, the BBC said.

"As a whole the situation in the special military operation zone can be described as tense," Gen Surovikin said.

Kherson is the only Ukrainian regional capital to have been captured by the Russians in their invasion. The Kremlin now claims Kherson and three other Ukrainian regions to be part of Russia - a claim rejected internationally.

Gen Surovikin, who has a reputation for harsh methods, said Ukraine's volley of rockets had damaged Kherson's Antonivsky Bridge and the Kakhovka hydroelectric dam, blocking traffic along those key arteries that had created supply problems for essential services, namely food deliveries, water and electricity, he said.

He also said the Ukrainians were launching constant attacks across a wide front - in the areas of Kupiansk and Lyman in the east and, in the south, on the Mykolaiv-Krivyi Rih front.

The scale of the planned "evacuation" from Kherson is not yet clear. If Russia forces people to leave their homes it could constitute a war crime, under the UN's definition, the BBC said.

B | By Liu Xinyu and Wo Xinyao (ECNS) – The "China-Canada Youth Cultural Heritage Conservation International Volunteer Service" program and the China-Canada (Chongqing) Youth Cultural Heritage Art Exchange Camp were held in Chongqing from August 5 to 13. The event aimed to place Chinese and foreign youth at the forefront of cultural heritage conservation, giving them a direct understanding of China's approaches and models in heritage protection. During the event, a group of Chinese-Canadian youth visited the Chongqing Sichuan Opera Theatre, the Dazu Rock Carvings and other cultural sites. Through Sichuan opera experiences, heritage explorations and urban sketching, they gained a deeper understanding of cultural preservation. After the event, the young participants' heritage-themed artworks and "heritage guardian diaries" will be exhibited in Ottawa, Canada, introducing Chongqing's cultural heritage and China's conservation philosophy to local communities. Yiyi Kong, a Chinese-Canadian teenager, told China News Service (CNS): "From the boardwalk at Eling Park, we saw the cityscape of Chongqing -- the towering buildings rising and falling across the hills. It gave me a real sense of the city's unique charm. Once we entered the park, the trees were lush and thick, and we felt like we were stepping into a beautiful garden right in the middle of Chongqing. I think Chongqing is a truly magical city, full of so many different elements." Eva Wang, another Chinese-Canadian participant, told CNS: "I tried on Sichuan opera makeup at the theatre, and later I did sketching at Mountain City Alley in Chongqing. People were passing by all around me, but during that half-hour of sketching, the world seemed to go quiet. I want to capture these details in my drawings and bring them back to Canada, so my friends can see that Chongqing is more than just what you see in short videos. With my eyes and my brush, I want to show the real China to the world." Linya Feng, a Chinese-Canadian teenager, told CNS: "I plan to make the Dazu Rock Carvings a long-term subject of study and to spread the outstanding traditional culture of China to the world." The event was supported by the Chongqing Luhai International Communication Foundation, the Dazu Rock Carving Research Institute, the Sichuan Fine Arts Institute and other organizations. 。
