In the temporarily occupied territories of the Oleshky community, numerous facts of looting by the Russian military have been recorded. According to eyewitness accounts and video evidence circulating online, the occupiers systematically seize private property from houses damaged by shelling.

This was reported by Tetiana Hasanenko, head of the Oleshky MVA, on Vgoryuch TV channel.

The situation in the Oleshkivska community on the left bank of the Kherson region remains critical. According to Tetiana Hasanenko, five settlements - Krynky, Pidstepne, Pishchane, Zaplavy and Sagy - have been completely destroyed, and there is no life in them anymore.

Oleshky itself currently has about three thousand residents, and in the villages of Radensk, Kostohryzove and Chelburda there are still people who are completely isolated. The occupation administration has effectively removed itself from the community's problems, moving to the safer cities of Skadovsk and Zaliznyi Port.

The delivery of humanitarian goods, even from the Crimea, has been stopped, putting the residents on the brink of survival. Previously, people were supported by Protestant communities, but now, due to an acute shortage of food, locals are forced to resort to in-kind exchange. Despite the danger, the residents of Kozachy Lager refuse to evacuate because they cannot leave behind the hundreds of pets they care for. For many, this has become an unbearable moral choice: save themselves or stay with those who are completely dependent on them.

The Security Service of Ukraine has served a notice of suspicion to the so-called minister of the occupiers in the temporarily occupied Kherson region. He is suspected of stealing valuables from the Kherson Regional Art Museum during the occupation.

According to the investigation, in September 2022, while in the temporarily occupied territory of Kherson region, Ukrainian citizen Artem Lahoyskyi voluntarily agreed to cooperate with the occupation authorities and took up the position of the so-called acting first deputy "Minister of Culture of Kherson region" in the structure created by the aggressor state.
