Quote: "Residents of the Kherson region ignored the celebration of Russia Day, despite attempts to bribe them with packages of food. In their style, the ruscists brought in a stand-in audience that tried to create the illusion of popular festivities and display support in front of the propaganda media. But the efforts were in vain – there were more security guards with weapons than spectators at their ’celebration’".

Details: It is noted that Kherson residents were playing the Ukrainian national anthem in the streets, hung out yellow and blue ribbons and motivational fliers, and painted patriotic graffiti everywhere.

Background: The Armed Forces of Ukraine in the Kherson region also presented the Russian occupiers with a gift on the occasion of the so-called Russia Day "celebration" – one of "fireworks", with the Ukrainian artillery performing a precision strike at the ammunition depot that detonated first thing in the morning.
