«We have not had a single day when our towns and villages were not hit. Since the de-occupation, the enemy has fired more than half a million shells at Kherson region. They are shooting at the liberated communities with all the weapons they have. They are hitting all civilian and critical infrastructure, simply terrorising the population,» he said.

According to him, despite the daily shelling, the reconstruction works in Kherson region do not stop. So far, more than 5,700 facilities have been repaired.
