Both rank at 17th most populated in Ukraine and Canada and similar populations.
Even should Kyiv fall over upcoming days / weeks, Ukraine is not capitulating anytime soon. Kharkhiv despite being on the border and highest at risk will continue to have some heavy battling as well
Ukraine has a ton of fight left, and each day that Ukraine fights is another day that Putin's noose is getting tighter in Russia.

If the video posted by InternationalVillager is to be taken at face value into why Putin's regime is doing what it is going, Kherson is a major city for the Russians beyond taking Ukraine's population to annex the entire country. It would be a significant strategic point in terms of resolving the blocked fresh water supply from Ukraine to Crimea.
