Nova Kakhovka was captured by the Russian armed forces in the first days of the attack almost bloodlessly, when all attention was diverted to the capture of Kiev. Advancing to Kherson was more difficult, but the enemy managed to capture the city, but out of control does not work. Deputies of the Kherson regional council refused to cooperate and organize a "referendum" on the organization of the "people's republic".
Russians are looking for anti-terrorist operation veterans
At the checkpoints in Nova Kakhovka, Russian servicemen check documents and find out from local residents who took part in the fighting in the anti-terrorist operation and was in the environmental protection zone. These people are detained upon detection.
Kherson supermarkets are being robbed
The Russian army is behaving aggressively. There is nothing like the myths about the Russian liberators, which brought up the older generation. Today's Russian military is robbing supermarkets, not only to replenish food supplies that are difficult to obtain from Russia, but also for personal pleasure.
All this causes the rejection of Russians by the local population, who go to the demonstrations. After the Russians dispersed the tear gas rallies, the number of demonstrators decreased, but people still took to the streets with Ukrainian flags.
