According to available information, the enemy is setting up defensive positions on the left bank of the Dnieper in the Kherson oblast. For example, in the area of the settlement of Hornostayivka, engineering and sapper units of the Russian occupying forces mine the coastline, leaving small passages for a potential retreat of their troops from the right bank.
Measures to evacuate local residents from temporarily occupied Kherson are underway. From the right bank of the city to the settlements of Henichesk and Skadovsk, the equipment and personnel of all banks and the occupation administration were taken out. The equipment of Internet providers was stolen. Emergency services and medical personnel are subject to evacuation. Funding of schools and provision of food for children in schools has been stopped. The number of robberies of local residents and cases of looting has increased.
To replace the evacuated collaborators, servicemen from among the mobilized persons are transferred to the settlement in Lviv.
