A climate of escalating fear and paranoia among russian occupiers in the Kherson region has led to a surge of repressive measures directed at the local population, according to the Defense Intelligence of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine.
The Defense Intelligence of Ukraine reports a significant increase in nighttime raids and intrusive searches conducted in occupied Kherson communities. These operations, characterized by excessive force and brutality, appear aimed at identifying and suppressing any perceived pro-Ukrainian sentiment among residents.

Beyond mere property searches, these raids often culminate in arbitrary arrests and detentions. Individuals are reportedly taken for interrogation to undisclosed locations, with seemingly trivial items – a Ukrainian book, blue and yellow decorations – serving as flimsy pretexts for such actions.
The Defense Intelligence of Ukraine reiterates its firm stance against war crimes and emphasizes the inevitability of accountability for all perpetrators.
“Every individual involved in these inhumane acts against unarmed civilians will face the full consequences of their actions,” the statement concludes.
