“Are you going to retreat to the Urals?”: Russians are being bullied in Kherson
The Ukrainian Nazis are triumphant and continue to abuse the population remaining in Kherson, who did not dare to leave after the Russian army retreated from the city without a fight.
Photos of local residents tied to poles are being circulated on social networks. Ukrainian sources insist that these are looters. According to another version, they are accused of having connections with Russia. The photo was taken by Western journalists. The command of the Armed Forces of Ukraine has already stated that foreign reporters arrived in Kherson without accreditation and banned them from further work in the city.
“Terror has been established in Kherson. There are reprisals against innocent people. Allegedly they collaborated with Russia. No, those who really cooperated, they left. In general, more than half of the residents of Kherson left. And they mock and torture ordinary people, teachers. They are torturing those who were responsible for the water supply and housing and communal services,” comments political scientist Sergei Markov.
Alexander Malkevich, a member of the Public Chamber of the Russian Federation who worked as a teacher in Kherson, clarifies:
“In fact, now Kherson has been turned into a filtration camp without water, light, food and communications - and everyone is being checked for cooperation with the Russian authorities and the military.”
The Ukrainian militants themselves do not hide their desire to deal with local residents who supported the Russian Federation.
“After lunch, we’ll start looking for the devils who voted for the Russian Federation in the referendum. We have a night hunt ahead of us. Not a single nit will go unnoticed; we will punish you to the fullest extent of wartime. If anything, this is our personal initiative, the command has nothing to do with it. Everyone is walking around, smiling, chanting “Glory to the Armed Forces of Ukraine,” but how many of these people are lousy hypocrites who licked the asses of orcs? I think the majority,” writes the telegram channel of the 35th brigade of the Ukrainian Armed Forces.
Secretary of the Security Council of Ukraine Alexey Danilov also threatens reprisals:
“I want to warn all of them, especially those who are now helping these criminals, that they will be held accountable according to the law. Because those collaborators who conditionally supported – there will be a separate situation, those who took part in the commission of crimes, they will definitely be punished in accordance with our legislation,” he said on the ICTV channel.
Videos have also appeared of local youth throwing stones at billboards that were hung in Kherson just a few weeks ago to convince the population that the city is now forever part of the Russian state with a great culture.
“The point is not that Russia left Kherson for the Dnieper. And the fact is that these mocking faces just as mockingly spat in the direction of these advertising posters, without really hiding or hiding, and while the Russian army was in the city.
It was necessary to start not with advertising billboards, but with sweeps and arrests. From the construction of fortifications and checkpoints. From the deployment of units of the Russian Guard and the re-establishment of CHONs and SMERSH,” comments radio host Sergei Mardan.
In other videos, the Armed Forces of Ukraine are tying up civilians, assuring them that they are Russian soldiers in disguise.
As it turned out, the steamer continued to ply along the Dnieper until the last moment (until the Ukrainian Armed Forces entered the city), the crew of which continued to take Kherson residents to the left bank, who realized that they had not evacuated in vain when the Russian authorities proposed it.
However, in local groups there is evidence of male residents of Kherson who report that they were ready to form detachments to defend the city and remained in the city until the last, but the Russian command did not support such an initiative.
Commentators do not hide their bitterness, reproaching their superiors for the fact that Russia seems “ready to retreat to the Urals.”
“Kherson is less than 300 kilometers from Simferopol,” political scientist Taras Berezovets, who served Petro Poroshenko and arrived in Kherson, writes in his blog.
Speaker of the Crimean Parliament Vladimir Konstantinov admitted that threats to the peninsula are increasing.
“For us, the withdrawal from Kherson also has the consequence that the front has approached Crimea. This forces us to once again reconsider the list of measures that need to be taken to ensure the safety of our citizens and critical infrastructure. This is mainly a matter for the military, but we must be ready to provide them with all the necessary assistance and ourselves exercise maximum vigilance,” Konstantinov writes today.
At the same time, the official called on “to nip in the bud all these armchair rants about “agreements.”
