He stated this on Espreso TV.
Stanislav Troshyn confirmed the officially declared number of settlements liberated from the occupiers in the Kherson region, and today 44 settlements have been completely liberated.
"And there are still many settlements in the gray zone that have already been abandoned by the occupiers, but, unfortunately, the Ukrainian government has not yet been established and the people are in terrible conditions there. Because the Russians are destroying the settlements and everything they have is being directed to the area from which they are forced to leave. That is, all the rockets, projectiles, and ammunition that the aggressors did not use in hostilities are aimed at the destruction of residential buildings, civilian infrastructure, schools, kindergartens, post offices, as well as bus stations - everything that can be destroyed. And it's terrible what the Russians are doing, leaving the villages and towns," Troshyn informed.
