After the start of active hostilities on the Kherson front and Ukrainian Armed Forces breaking through the first line of Russian defence, the collaborator Kyrylo Stremousov, appointed by the Russians as "deputy head of the Kherson military-civilian administration", fled to the Russian city of Voronezh. There he recorded his "motivational videos" that allegedly everything is "under control" in the oblast.

Quote from Stremousov: "My business trip to Voronezh was a success... Colleagues from Russia held an amazing workshop on communicative leadership in Voronezh...
The Kherson delegation, who were also present at the workshop, gained enormous experience in building communications with the society and social structures."
Details: The collaborator reported that he was "in a hurry" to return to occupied Kherson, where he would start preparing for a sham referendum.
Apart from that, Yevhen Balytskyi, collaborator from Zaporizhzhia Oblast, reported that he was going to "head" the Oblast while staying in the temporarily occupied Crimea due to "family reasons".
However, later the collaborator deleted thit post.
