Courageous Kherson has been living in occupation for a month and a half. The Russian military fired at rallies for Ukraine; they tried to introduce rubles and arrange a maximum cleansing of all activists.
This was told to UNIAN by Maxim, one of the city's volunteers.
According to him, from the first days of the occupation, volunteers in Kherson delivered humanitarian aid to local residents, particularly medicines and baby food.
“They have begun the maximum cleansing of all activists. Russians visited my yard last night. They were looking for someone, they knocked out someone’s door at 2 a.m., someone was taken away,†the volunteer said,
On the night of April 15-16 Maxim left from Kherson. "Today we managed to get to Nikolaev," Maxim added.
Russian military captured several entrepreneurs and two priests who were helping those who lost their homes in churches.
"They began to put pressure on all active people in the city. At the same time, these are not only bright pro-Ukrainian activists but even ordinary priests who have never shown a political position. I know at least two priests kidnapped by the invaders and kept somewhere. All the activity of the priests was manifested in the fact that they could shelter refugees in the church, and feed them with food. In addition to the priests, several entrepreneurs were kidnapped," said Yuri, who on April 9 was able to take his family out of the occupied region.
