Russian-Occupied Kherson Names New Leadership Amid Pro-Ukraine Protests, Rocket Attacks

"Occupying Russian forces have appointed a new “military-civilian administration” in
Ukraine’s southern Kherson region amid pro-Kyiv protests and rocket attacks.

Russian soldiers occupied the city of Kherson on the banks of the Dnieper River in early March. Russia’s Defense Ministry said it gained control of the entire Kherson region this week. Russian troops have dismissed Kherson’s Ukrainian leadership, instead appointing former KGB agent Alexander Kobets as mayor and ex-mayor Volodymyr Saldo as regional head." MoscowTimes
