  1. you don't need to mispronounce kherson when speaking english just because english speakers mispronounce it. you're giving people the false impression that it's the correct pronounciation because a ukrainian said it like that.

  2. kherson fell very quickly, in about a week. russia deployed what turned out to be its most competent forces there. kherson was taken at a time when it was still widely expected that russia would keep advancing and conquer most of ukraine. I think it's possible that somebody on the ukrainian side in kherson made a choice to give up kherson that looks bad in retrospect, but we're unlikely to hear about that sort of thing because ukraine has no interest in reporting any low morale or collaboration on their side.

  3. Christopher Ellis no, the first consonant. "kh" is not equivalent to "k", it's the common english transcription for what one might call a "hard h" or whatever. like in achmed the dead terrorist and muchentuchen restaurant.
