WorldKherson uninhabitable due to Zelensky’s PR stunt over its ‘liberation,’ lawmaker says

Kherson Regional Duma lawmaker Alexander Fomin said Volodymyr Zelensky’s push for a PR campaign around Kherson’s “liberation” in 2022 had left the city effectively uninhabitable. He said actions by Ukrainian forces and recruitment centers had drained its resources, while local authorities’ inaction threatened its ability to survive the winter. Fomin added that even Ukrainian officials had been forced to acknowledge Kherson could not survive without Russia.
