In occupied Kherson, only access to the Internet is possible, provided from the annexed Crimea. That is, users cannot access Ukrainian sites, and most social networks, such as Facebook, are blocked.. Mayor Igor Kolykhaev spoke about information isolation in the city.

In fact, every day the citizens hear explosions, from which the windows in the houses outside the city not only shake. They literally knock out windows from the shock wave.

The mayor stated that there has been no mobile communication from Ukrainian operators in Kherson for more than a week. It is simply impossible to receive up-to-date news from Ukraine in Kherson if there is no additional equipment such as VPN.

Such users have the opportunity to continue to be in the Ukrainian information field, but the politician emphasizes that, nevertheless, the lion's share of the city's residents remained without communication..

Another important point that makes citizens feel socially unprotected is that people are losing their jobs en masse.. The city has lost its usual activity: cafes and summer playgrounds are closed, thousands of people have become unemployed.

Earlier, in the Kherson region, the invaders took about 600 people hostage, they were tortured.
