The head of the Kherson regional council Alexander Samoylenko does not believe that the minefields in the territory adjacent to the Crimea were cleared. During the broadcast on Radio NV, he named his version of why, during the start of a full-scale invasion of the Russian Federation, they did not detonate, which should have blocked the road to the southern regions of our country for the Russian occupiers.

" Some secrets that exist in a region or state do not reach me. But in order to carry out demining, as was accused, in recent years, such actions would be noticeable. At least I would know about them if some actions were taking place,"

He commented on both options for possible demining: the first is that the fields were cleared in 2019, when a checkpoint was being built in the region, and the second is that WTO Minister Irina Vereshchuk was involved in this.

" ) occurred on a fairly small area. This is almost in the section of the road that goes to the village of Kalanchak and Chongar. I do not know the location of [minefields] and will not take [responsibility] that they exist. But the dismantling of minefields during the construction of the checkpoint did not take place, - said Samoylenko. - There was such a version that Ms. Vereshchuk, when she entered the position of Deputy Prime Minister, came, “started” the bus (February 14, 2022, bus shuttles began to run at the Chongar and Kalanchak checkpoints from the checkpoint to the administrative border - ed.. For this [as if] a minefield was eliminated. In fact, all the actions that took place, they were performed on the overpass. This is the road that the cars used to drive. She was not mined"

The head of the regional council believes that the fields were mined at the beginning of the invasion, but the Russians knew where they were, so they moved clearly along roads and bridges where appropriate fences were not installed.

" This is a question for the military leadership. But until the last day, when we arrived at the checkpoint, [saw that] signs [with the inscription] Mina were installed everywhere. It is impossible to mine such areas.

This is a fantasy or dispersal of zrada, as politicians like to do in our country when the danger has moved a little to the side, ”explained the head of the regional council.

Recall, NSDC Secretary Alexei Danilov said that it is not known who is to blame for the fact that the Russians still managed to occupy the south. He noted that they would deal with this later, because the solution of this issue now could start political processes that cannot be allowed..
