The occupiers and collaborators held a meeting in the seized Kherson City Council building and presented their so-called "heads" of the City Council and the Regional State Administration - Volodymyr Saldo and Oleksandr Kobets.
Head of Kherson Regional Military Administration Gennadiy Laguta reported it in Telegram.
The current staff of the City Council was forced to leave the premises and work "at another place". After Kherson was occupied, the leadership of the Kherson Regional Military Administration was also forced to leave the city but "they were doing their best day and night to make sure the region is functioning".
"I'm convinced these collaborators and their accomplices will be held responsible after our victory. These appointments are illegal."
On the evening of 25 April, the occupier troops entered the Kherson City Council building, replaced official security guards with theirs, and took away the building's keys.
Volodymyr Saldo, the former member of the Party of Regions, was Kherson's mayor from 2002 to 2012. He supported the russian occupation after the beginning of the full-scale war.
