Russian terror
Repressions against Ukrainians are escalating in the occupied part of Kherson region, particularly in the town of Henichesk.
According to available information, it has become much easier to be subjected to forced imprisonment since local collaborators, aiming to please the occupiers, constantly make false accusations against citizens and carry out unjustified checks.
Furthermore, the occupiers threaten the local population, stating that those without Russian passports will be forcibly deported to Siberia, with all their property confiscated.

During the past 24 hours, aviation conducted 14 strikes on enemy personnel, weapons, and military equipment deployment areas, as well as three strikes on enemy air defense systems.
