The occupiers did not have time to disperse.
Residents of occupied Kherson traditionally gathered on Sunday for a peaceful rally against Russian aggression at the Shevchenko monument. The participants of the peaceful rally shared photos and videos from the rally on social networks.
The participants of the event stated that they had come to demonstrate that they do not want Russia and its “People's Republic of China” in the Kherson region. The video shows people proclaiming: “Kherson is Ukraine!”
Kherson residents with Ukrainian flags and anti-Russian posters chanted: Glory to Ukraine! Glory to the heroes !, Many of us together – we can not be overcome !, Glory to the soldiers of the APU !, Nikolaev! We are with you! and other slogans.
According to Ukrinform, Kherson residents managed to hold a rally before the Russian military arrived at the scene to disperse.
Earlier, citizens traditionally gathered for protests in Freedom Square – near the building of the YEAH and the regional council. This area, like the building, is now controlled by Russian armed forces, who use weapons against protesters and kidnap people.
In the Kherson region, residents regularly hold peaceful protests against the Russian aggressor. At the same time, the Russian military is using force and weapons against people, wounded and detained.
