Kherson residents went to protest/Photos from open sources
The Russians continue to keep Kherson in occupation. However, civilians come out to protest and show their unwillingness to live in the city under the Russian flag. Therefore, the invaders decided to abandon attempts to hold a referendum and plan to annex the Kherson region to the annexed Crimea.
Irina Salikhova, a volunteer from Kherson, spoke about this on air on Channel 24.
According to her, the Russian invaders met with fierce resistance from the locals in Kherson.
They realized that it would not be possible to create a picture for Russian media, because Kherson residents are loudly declaring their unwillingness to be part of Russia through a fake referendum. the volunteer emphasized.
Irina Salikhova says that the occupiers are already saying that they will simply annex the Kherson region to the annexed Crimea, without a referendum.
The volunteer said that the occupiers began to bring rubles into the city , but in reality they are just fakes. In addition, price tags in both hryvnia and rubles began to appear in some retail chains. “But the people of Kherson are not going to give up the hryvnia,” she confirmed.
Salikhova assured that the authorities of Kherson did not support the invaders and left the city council building. The Russian military has already put its commandant in charge, and the local authorities are working remotely and continue to fulfill their duties.
By the way, in April, Russian invaders kidnapped the former mayor of Kherson Vladimir Nikolaenko< /strong>. Now they decided to shoot a propaganda story with him, but something did not go according to plan for the occupiers. Nikolaenko said on camera that Roman Shukhevych is a hero for the whole country.
