On November 9, Sergei Shoigu approved the withdrawal of Russian troops from Kherson. Before that, some of the local residents managed to get Russian passports, and later they were forced to leave the city, fearing persecution from Ukraine. The Russian authorities organized the evacuation and promised assistance with housing and cash payments. However, many of the refugees have not yet received assistance.
But domestic difficulties are not the main thing. People say they don't understand how this could have happened. They call themselves abandoned and even betrayed. "Base" publishes stories three former residents of Kherson, who coped with the evacuation and are now forced to settle in the Russian regions without much hope of returning home.
“Many do not know about my views and congratulate, write: “Congratulations! Hooray, Kherson is ours!” All I can squeeze out of myself in response is a smiley with the index finger up. It's still the same mask. I have a large circle of friends, not only Kherson, there are Ukrainians from Odessa, Kyiv. They are now flooding with questions in the spirit of “when are you coming back?”. I slowly answer: never.
