Ukraine is not allowing journalists into the settlements that have come under Ukrainian control in Kherson in recent days. The Ukrainian journalist and blogger Anatoly Shary reports on shootings and fears that the media lockout serves to cover up war crimes.

Earlier, Shariy reported that the Ukrainian army began repression against residents of the region immediately after its invasion. According to his information, 20 people suspected of “collaborating” with Russia were shot dead in the settlement of Snigirevka. On Friday morning he wrote:

“In Snigirevka, which had been quietly defended recently and had in fact quietly surrendered, 20 Russian collaborators were killed, according to the Russian military.
