In the city of Kherson occupied by the Russians despite great popular mistrust, a car bomb attack targeted an official collaborating with the occupier.

A car bomb attack took place in the heart of Kherson (Ukraine). This is a first in this city occupied by the Russians since the beginning of March. The 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.
