Serhiy Khlan, Head of the Kherson Regional State Administration adviser, says that occupying Russian forces  are not allowing in medicines desperately needed by locals and people across the region. The city is in a humanitarian catastrophe, and the Russians are forcing local Ukrainian citizens to accept Russian passports.

He expressed this opinion on the air of Espreso TV Channel.

"The situation is still difficult in Kherson, there is a humanitarian crisis. The situation with medication is especially bad, and no one is even trying to solve it. People simply can not get the medication critical to their lives, such as insulin or hemodialysis," Khlan said.

He added that people are dying from lack of critical medication in the Kherson region.

"The occupants do not allow us to import medication to the city. Earlier it was possible to supply all these medicines and even hemodialysis with medication, but now this is not possible at all. The Russians have cut off any opportunity to supply medicine to the occupied Kherson region. People just die because they can't get the right shot or pill in time," he said.

The adviser also noted that the Russians are forcibly passporting Ukrainians, in particular, the occupants are forcing entrepreneurs to submit lists of people to obtain Russian passports under the threat of looting and appropriating the enterprise.

"The only thing the Russians are doing there is a propaganda picture, as if Ukrainians are being passportized. When in reality the occupants are threatening Kherson enterprises with robberies unless the owner does not provide a certain number of people to queue for a Russian passport,” Khlan said.
