Prokudin: 34 settlements in Kherson region in critical condition

Scale of problems on the left bank exceeds expectations

Oleksandr Prokudin, who holds the position of head of the Kherson Regional Military Administration, spoke about the difficult situation in the region. According to him, not only Oleshky, but also 34 other settlements in the region have found themselves in a similar critical situation.

The official provided this information while participating in the podcast "Klyati pytannia" ("Cursed Questions") by "Ukrainska Pravda".

«У нас таких сіл ще 34, критичних. А 58 - середньої критичності, які саме у 20-кілометровій зоні з лівого берега. І сказати, що нам потрібно рятувати звідти людей, це нічого не сказати. Там реально така ж ситуація (як в Олешках - Ред.)» ("We have 34 more such villages, critical ones. And 58 are of medium criticality, which are exactly in the 20-kilometre zone on the left bank. And to say that we need to save people from there is to say nothing. There is really the same situation there (as in Oleshky - Ed.)"), Prokudin emphasised.

Which territories require immediate attention

The head of the region emphasised the need to pay attention to 34 towns and villages. Among them, he named Rybalske, Zburivka, Nova Zburivka and Holaa Prystan. According to Prokudin, these and all other settlements along the Dnipro all the way to Velyka Lepetykha are affected.

Resource deficit and winter prospects

The head of the Kherson OVA described in detail the state of infrastructure in these areas. There is no gas or electricity, and there are serious difficulties with water supply, food delivery and humanitarian aid.

«Там уже проблеми з усім. Там немає газу, немає світла, проблеми з водою, з доставкою їжі, гуманітарною допомогою. Зараз, після літа, люди будуть якось виживати від городів. Далі - зима буде дуже тяжка» ("There are already problems with everything. There is no gas, no light, problems with water, with food delivery, humanitarian aid. Now, after summer, people will somehow survive from their vegetable gardens. Then - winter will be very hard"), Prokudin explained.
