Kirill Strimosov, deputy head of the military-civilian administration of the Kherson region, said that the borders of the region “are currently closed for security reasons. Crossing the border from the Mykolaiv and Dnipropetrovsk regions is very dangerous, given the systematic shelling of Ukrainian militants. After recent shelling, civilians who were “in the buffer zone” were killed on their side. So we do not recommend going to Ukraine at all, under any pretext. We we get a lot of data about the disappearance of men who are immediately taken into the Ukrainian army as cannon fodder.”

He pointed out that “at present, it is possible to leave the region for the Crimea or the liberated parts of the Zaporozhye region, and from there to the republics of Donbass.”

And the Russian forces during their special operation in Ukraine established their control over the Kherson region and part of the Zaporozhye region, as well as the Sea of ​​Azov. Military-civilian departments began to function in the occupied areas, Russian television channels and radio stations began to broadcast, and trade relations with Crimea were resumed.
