Situation in 34 settlements in Kherson Oblast is as critical as in Oleshky

Oleksandr Prokudin, Head of Kherson Oblast Military Administration, has said that the situation in 34 settlements is as critical as in Oleshky.

Quote: "We have another 34 villages where the situation is critical, and 58 where it is moderate, all within a 20-kilometre zone from the left bank of the Dnipro River.

To say that we need to rescue people from these places would be an understatement. The situation there is genuinely just as bad [as in Oleshky]."

Details: Prokudin stressed that these 34 towns and villages urgently need attention. He said they include Rybalche, Zburivka, Nova Zburivka, Hola Prystan and other settlements along the Dnipro River as far as Velyka Lepetykha.

Quote: "They're already facing problems with everything. There's no gas, no electricity, and there are problems with water, food supplies and humanitarian aid. Now, after the summer, people will somehow survive on what they've grown in their gardens. But the winter will be very harsh."

Background:

• Prokudin also said that during the ceasefire in Oleshky, Russian forces had returned to positions from which Ukrainian defenders had spent almost a year driving them out.
• He also stated that there is currently no need for a full evacuation of Kherson.
