Kherson’s Mayor Ihor Kolykhaiev told CNN "we don’t have more weapons to resist" Russian forces that surrounded the city, APA reports citing CNN.
“The people of Kherson are unarmed. We don’t have more weapons to resist, to put up an armed resistance,” he said to CNN’s John Berman.
“We don’t have the army in the city. The army has been defeated. The Ukrainian army had to retreat, so there are no arms. They’ve retreated towards Nikolaev,” he continued.
Kolykhaiev said the Russian troops will remain in control of Kherson unless and “until the Ukrainian army can advance on Kherson,” adding of Russian forces, that “they’re quite settled here.”
"Russian troops are everywhere," he added.
Kolykhaiev told Berman that life goes on, but all city services are down.
