One of the leaders of the Ukrainian national athletics team Andriy Protsenko spoke about the traitors in Kherson.

“Some went to the Crimea, and someone went to Moscow. They try to live there. Perhaps they were once offended because someone worked in stores and they were forced to speak Ukrainian, and in our region there are many Russian speakers. Therefore, some older people perceived it negatively.. But there are only two such people among my acquaintances.. It's a shame for them, but they themselves chose this life..

Many, especially young people, left in the first two months as soon as the opportunity arose.. A lot of people also left the village where the wife's parents lived.. There are those who benefit. It is more difficult to be in the village, because everyone knows each other, which causes more difficulties. If you are pro-Ukrainian, then someone will definitely betray you someday. And even if it’s not pro-Ukrainian, they’ll still be handed over if you crossed the road for someone,” Protsenko said in a comment to Sport. ua.

Note that Protsenko is a native of the Kherson region, and met the beginning of a full-scale invasion of the Russian Federation in the occupation.

Protsenko was first in Kherson, and then left for a settlement in the Kherson region, where he spent 40 days. The athlete still managed to leave the occupied territories with his wife and two children.

On November 11, the Armed Forces of Ukraine managed to liberate Kherson from Russian invaders.
