On Saturday, March 12, the Kherson Regional Council gathered for an emergency meeting because of information that the Russian invaders want to hold a so-called referendum on the creation of a “Kherson People's Republic” in the temporarily occupied territory of the Kherson region.
According to the deputy of the Kherson regional council Sergey Rybalko, the deputies at the meeting rejected the idea of creating the KhNR.
– An emergency meeting of the session of the Kherson Regional Council was held. The meeting was held in Zoom mode, as provided for by the regulations. The session adopted with 44 votes an appeal that the Kherson region is Ukraine. Our country is whole and united. Everything will be Ukraine! he wrote on his Facebook page.
Recall that after the news about the so-called “referendum” on the creation of the “Kherson People's Republic”, Ukrainians in the Kherson region took to Svoboda Square with posters: We cannot be defeated. Ukraine will win; We are Ukrainians, not Katsap slaves.
To date, Kherson is the only major Ukrainian city that has been under the temporary occupation of the Russian Federation.
The equipment of the Russian aggressors is under the building of the regional state administration, and the railway station and the seaport are under the control of the invaders.
