Details: According to a source at the University, collaborators Tatiana Tomilina and Tatiana Kuzmich, together with two armed Russian soldiers, entered Kherson State University. They broke down the door to the rector's office.

The publication has information that it is Tomilina who intends to be "appointed" [by the occupiers] as rector of the university.

After that, according to eyewitnesses, Tomilina gave the armed men the command to seize the vice-rector of Kherson State University, Maksym Vynnyk.

Vynnyk's colleagues confirmed his detention to Most and added that he has a disability and needs constant medical care.
