Pro-Russian "authorities" in Kherson demand that residents "immediately leave the city"

The so-called "administration" of the Kherson region again urged residents to evacuate to the left bank of the Dnieper, but this time - immediately.

As stated in a message on the telegram channel of the occupation administration, "civilians of Kherson and all divisions and ministries of the civil administration must cross today to the left bank of the Dnieper."

The message indicates the place from where river boats depart through the Dnieper.

For more than a week, the invaders have been calling on the residents of Kherson and the right-bank districts of the region to move to the left bank, and, if possible, to the annexed Crimea and Russian regions. However, the categorical demand to leave the city was voiced for the first time.

According to the estimates of the occupying authorities, several tens of thousands of people have left the right bank of the Dnieper at the moment, there is no independent estimate.

Ukrainian telegram channels on Saturday write that almost all Russian institutions have closed in Kherson. The General Staff reported that the invaders were preparing Kherson for street fighting.
