Ukrainians are probably being held in Kherson, Novooleksiyivka and Henichesk.
In the temporarily occupied territories of the Kherson region, the Russian military can keep in basements and torture about 500 Ukrainians. This was announced by the Permanent Representative of the President of Ukraine to the Autonomous Republic of Crimea Tamila Tasheva at a briefing at the Media Center Ukraine.

Tasheva noted that the occupiers are abducting anti-terrorist operation activists and veterans on special lists.
“Occupation administrations come up with whole lists of activists, either those who took part in the civil blockade of Crimea in 2015, or, for example, those who served in the anti-terrorist operation and may now want to join the Ukrainian army. They come to their homes and take them away, kidnap them, “the presidential spokeswoman said.

According to her, the Russian Federation first considered the scenario of holding a “referendum” in the temporarily occupied territories of Kherson and Zaporizhia regions, and now it is going to “join” the region to the Crimea.
The president's spokeswoman added that such intentions can be seen in the public discussions of the occupying power of the peninsula. They create propaganda media that cover information not only about the temporarily occupied Crimea, but also about Kherson or Zaporizhia: “whole stories are already being made by the so-called” Crimean media “with the prefix Crimea 24 Kherson or Zaporizhia.”
