(MENAFN- UkrinForm) This was reported by“Yellow Ribbon” on Telegram, citing resistance movement activists, according to Ukrinform.

“In Henichesk, Skadovsk, Tavriysk, and Nova Kakhovka, the occupying authorities are conducting raids in search of Ukrainian symbols,” the report says.

As noted, the Russian Guard in the temporarily occupied territory of Kherson region has again launched a separate patrol that goes around courtyards, bus stops, and public places. They are looking for drawings of flags, inscriptions, and any references to Ukraine and Ukrainian culture. They carry paint with them and paint over or tear down anything they find. Local utility workers are also involved in this work.

Such checks occur every few months when“too many” Ukrainian colors appear in cities.

As reported by Ukrinform, in the fall of 2022, the Armed Forces of Ukraine liberated the right bank of the Kherson regio, including the city of Kherson. Part of the region, located on the left bank of the Dnipro River, is temporarily occupied by Russian troops.
