Occupiers in #Kherson have issued a statement saying all civilians MUST leave the city today.
All #Russia's puppet admin staff will leave the city today.
So it's a repeat of #Beryslav. Likely only newly mobilised soldiers will be left in a few days. Liberation in 1-2 weeks?

It's amazing how much money is wasted in #Russia suppressing any dissent
An artist in St.Petersburg, known as "Zoom", chose Khersonskaya St to draw his version of a Russian fairytale about a giant turnip
But it's a post-apocalyptic view - the turnip being a nuclear mushroom

So workers were sent to paint over the anti-war street art. But it wasn't a success.
So then they went to the trouble (and expense) of plastering over the drawing on the wall.
Yet still the original is visible!

The #Perm' gunpowder explosion has just been officially confirmed. 3 dead, others missing.
A big fire took hold after the blast.
There was also a similar incident there in May. Sabotage cannot be ruled out, but poor safety practice much more likely.

"Closed - back in 2 weeks" is the sign on the so called 'passport' office in Occupied #Kherson
Meanwhile at the Russian bank in the city they remove and loot everything.
All according to plan, definitely not fleeing in panic

Looks to me like reconnaissance of #Ukraine's army as they push further into Occupied territory (with a US voice?)
They probably don't want this geolocating, but my prediction of west of the river being completely liberated within a fortnight remains.

Earlier a "protection zone" was made around a toxic landfill site.
False flag? Sabotage? "Dirty bomb"?
