DISINFO: Ukraine wants to deport residents of Kherson
SUMMARY
The bullying that Ukrainian militants inflict on the inhabitants of Kherson is not only the realisation of their pathological inclinations. It is also the purposeful intimidation of the population as the basis of the occupation policy. [...] Ukrainian politicians indicated the deportation of the local population and its replacement by "ethnically pure" residents of Western Ukraine as the most important element of "de-occupation".
RESPONSE
No evidence given. Recurring pro-Kremlin disinformation narrative alleging Ukraine is responsible for war crimes.
Ukraine does not plan, or want, to deport the residents of Kherson. Kherson is part of Ukraine.
The city was liberated from Russian occupation on 11 November 2022. The Russian army conducted a brutal occupation and destroyed key energy infrastructure, electricity lines and stations. Local authorities and the government are working on restoring the energy supplies and food deliveries.
See our recent article ‘Blessed’ are the ‘evacuated’ plus similar disinformation narratives: Russian withdrew from Kherson because Ukraine wants to blow up the Kakhovka dam, Zelenskyy saw that Kherson is a Russian city, Ukraine wants to blow up the Kakhovka dam to block water supply to Crimea.
