Quote: "This evening I got a call saying that the occupiers had taken the secretary of the City Council Viktor Syrota. Let's hope that nothing terrible will happen to him. We really hope not!
He is a sedate, serious person and God forbid that anything should happen to him!"
Details: Ryshchuk confirmed that the Russian invaders appointed collaborator Heorhii Zhuravko as the head of the city's occupation administration. He gathered the directors of Public Utilities to give instructions on how to operate under Russian occupation.
According to Mayor Ryshchuk, there is no significant activity of occupation units or military operations in the city.
He added that employees of "Pobut," a municipally owned corporation, will be paid wages until the end of May, but in June the enterprise will have to be disbanded and stop payments due to the city falling under the control of the Russian occupiers.
Background:
- Russian occupiers continue to prevent the repair of hydraulic structures on the Dnipro, as a result, Nova Kakhovka was partially flooded.
- Invaders are shelling the captured villages in the Kherson Oblast, which are located in the rear areas relative to the front line.
- According to the Kherson Oblast Military Administration, every second resident of the occupied territories of the region has left.
