As Soviet Victory Flag Raised Over Kherson, Resistance Hunts Collaborators [View all]
Ukrainian resistance fighters in the southern city of Kherson appear set for a guerrilla war against Russian occupiers and local collaborators, as Moscow reportedly prepares to create a puppet "people's republic" in the territory seized by its troops in the opening days of the invasion.
A video emerged from Kherson on Wednesday showing Russian troops raising the Soviet Union "victory flag"—the official symbol of the victory over Nazi Germany during World War Two—at Kherson's eternal flame memorial on the banks of the Dnieper river.
But also on Wednesday, Valery Kuleshov—a local pro-Russian blogger who had reportedly been working with the occupying forces—was shot dead in his car in Kherson by unknown assailants.
Kuleshov's killing appears to be at least the second high-profile assassination of a pro-Russian figure in Kherson since the city was occupied by Russian forces invading from Crimea to the south. Pavel Slobodchikov, another alleged collaborator, was also reported killed in his car in Kherson at the end of March.
