The situation in Kherson has deteriorated following yet another devastating series of strikes on a thermal power plant ahead of the heating season, and the authorities have once again urged residents to leave. Where, exactly, can local residents evacuate to? Can civilians in this frontline city shoot down drones themselves? Will the central government support farmers who have lost their crops due to Russian attacks? Ukrinform discusses these issues with Oleksandr Prokudin, Head of the Kherson Regional Military Administration. The official also talks about where children from Kherson region are studying, whether military administrations in currently occupied communities should be abolished, the controversies over the dismissal of two military administration heads, and the situation in the temporarily occupied territories.
“WE SEE A SHAHED 10 SECONDS BEFORE IT EXPLODES”
