The mayor of Kherson, Igor Kolykhayev, who had previously negotiated with the Russian invading forces about further rules governing life in the city, has announced that there is a growing threat of looting.
Russian troops have blockaded Kherson in southern Ukraine, creating a humanitarian crisis in the city. Local authorities are asking for a ‘green corridor’ to be designated in order to deliver supplies of medicine and food.
According to Kherson Mayor Igor Kolykhayev, during a visit from “armed visitors” to the city administration, an agreement was reached on how the city would function in the event of an occupation. However, the mayor denies that his counterpart in these talks were the Russian invaders.
