Russia withdraws its forces from Kherson in southern Ukraine: the army must leave the right bank of the Dnieper

For example, since the spring he was the deputy governor of the Kherson region, which was occupied by Moscow at the beginning of the Russian invasion. For this reason, Ukraine accused him of treason and an investigation was opened for him.

Stremusov already had a history of pro-Russian parties in pre-war Ukraine, but he also played a role in the anti-vaccination movement in his country. So after the Russian occupation he became one of the leaders of the administration in Kherson. Recently, Kherson became one of the four occupied territories annexed by Russia after a “referendum”. This was against international law.

However, Strimosov has been negative about the situation in the region in recent weeks. The Ukrainian army is pushing the Russians back further and further and is now said to have advanced near the provincial capital Kherson. For example, he sharply criticized the leadership of the Russian army for its incompetence and attacked Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu.

Strimosov recently called on the people of Kherson to evacuate to the southern bank of the Dnieper because he feared that Russian forces would no longer be able or willing to defend that city. Strimosov may have annoyed the Ukrainians not only with his bold statements on social media, but perhaps the Russians as well. Anyway, his videos on social media showed that he wasn’t a careful driver.
