Details: According to Fomina, "the people in the village are very scared", and the situation overall is "tense". 

"Tense, because people were constantly abducted, checked; searches were conducted in their homes. When the right-bank [of the Dnipro River] was liberated, before the liberation of Kherson, all the Russian militants were concentrated in our settlement. There were so many that they lived almost in every house, staying in nurseries, schools, community centres", she says. 

Background: On 11 November, Ukraine’s Ministry of Defence reported that Kherson is now under the control of the Ukrainian army.  The Russian Army retreated from the Oblast centre found on the right bank of Dnipro River. After their retreat, the Russians started to shell the city ceaselessly.
