Russia is preparing a pseudo-referendum in Kherson region on the creation of KhPR - former MP

He wrote about this on Facebook.

"The invaders are calling the deputies of the Kherson Regional Council asking if we are ready to cooperate with them. I categorically refused. I appeal to all deputies of the Kherson Regional Council. Dear colleagues, I am sure that you understand the consequences of your decision", he said.

The former MP said that "the creation of KhPR will turn the region into a hopeless hole without life and future".

"Don't give them a single vote! Don't allow them to legitimize KhPR! The whole state will look at you and there can be no justification for cooperation with the occupiers! I don't believe that it will be worse for you than ordinary people of Mariupol, Chernihiv, Kharkiv, Sumy, Gostomel, who have been going through inhuman suffering for two weeks, but do not give up", he wrote.
