Eventually, they can donate to the city to preserve the land route to the Crimea.
The main tasks of the Russian occupiers after the failure of the Crimean-Donetsk The 2014 scenario of seizing the Kherson region was the cessation of civil resistance, control of local governments and the elimination of independent media, writes in his article for ZN.UA “How Russia is settling in the occupied south” Valentina Samar./p>
“All three tasks began to be solved in the usual way for Russia by force. Hundreds of people – city and town mayors, deputies, public figures, journalists, media owners, anti-terrorist operation/environmental protection veterans – were abducted and thrown into basements. According to Kherson Oblast Prosecutor Volodymyr Kalyuga, 137 cases of abductions and illegal detentions have been documented in the oblast as of early April, and the fate of nearly 90 people is unknown, ”she said.
At the same time, none of the heads of local self-government bodies of the Kherson region publicly cooperated with the occupiers, and after their release most of them left the region and joined the volunteer movement.
“Meanwhile, people from Kherson and Zaporizhia are disappearing. Not only in the basements of secret prisons. Fear of reprisals and unwillingness to live under the oppression of the “Russian world” drives people from the occupied territories to freedom. The Russians are holding back the flow of migrants, because they need the population as a human shield in every settlement that may be on the front line tomorrow. However, the outflow of disloyal population is also in their favor, and the crossing of numerous checkpoints allows for strict filtering, “the author writes.
Valentina Samar notes that in order to at least keep the dry road from Russia, ORDLO to Crimea, Russia can sacrifice the previously captured Kherson on the right bank and blow up the Antonov and Kakhovka bridges across the Dnieper.
