Colonel of the Operational Command "South" of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Vladyslav Nazarov also confirmed the impression of the Russian point.
- Practically the entire Kherson region was captured by the Russian invaders at the beginning of a large-scale invasion in February-March 2022. In November 2022, the Defense Forces of Ukraine liberated the right-bank part of the Kherson region, together with the regional center, from the Russian occupiers.
- After that, the Russians began systematically shelling Kherson and other liberated settlements in the region. The left-bank part of the Kherson region remains under Russian occupation.
