In Ukraine, in the city of Khersona pro-Russian occupation administration tries to impose itself, but the Ukrainian resistance is expressed. Latest evidence: an attack that targeted a pro-Russian official. He was killed in the explosion of his vehicle on Friday June 24.

A car bomb attack in the heart of Kherson (Ukraine). This is a first in this city occupied by the Russians since the beginning of March. Target : a Ukrainian civil servant who collaborated with the Russian administration. He was in charge of Youth and Sports. The city’s pro-Russian official announced his death.

Is this a new form of armed resistance? In this city which continues to show its hostility towards the Russians and those who accept the occupation, the inhabitants regularly come out with Ukrainian flags and display them in front of the troops of the occupier, at the risk of being targeted by the Russian shots. These gestures of courage come at a time when fear and shortages now reign. More than 60% of the 300,000 inhabitants have already fled. Russia has announced that it wants to annex Kherson. Russian passports are now distributed there, and Moscow television is broadcast.
