Quote: "Aggressors are not only in the city, they continue to wage an information war and write fake news. Now Russian nationalist expansionists, and Russian expansionist media write that they have allegedly received requests and phone calls from the Kherson Region asking to admit it to Russia! Do not trust any information from unofficial sources! This information is fake!’"

Details: In the Oblast State Administration they say that ‘the Kherson Region was, is and will be Ukrainian.’

From UP: Russian central media have not yet spread fake news about the willingness of Kherson citizens to ‘join’ Russia.

Russian troops have blocked Ukrainian cities Kherson and Berdiansk.
