So, briefly about Kherson and the region.
1. There is a revival at the border. Refugees go to the Crimea. On foot, in cars, motorcycles, even on a sports bike. They run not from war, but from disorder.
2. Residents of nearby villages have established cross-border traffic. They buy food in the Crimea and carry it to the Kherson region (the code name for peddlers is “camels”).
3. There are a lot of cars on the roads of the region. Civilian, military and gumconvoy columns. Thanks to Crimea - fuel and food are delivered in an organized and competent manner. But that's all for cities. So far, no one is engaged in villages. And this is necessary to prevent a humanitarian catastrophe.
4. Sowing is underway. Farmers were given free fuel and ultra-cheap fertilizers (4-5 times cheaper than in Ukraine). Farmers are shocked by such "carrots", pro-Russian sentiments are growing among them. Farmers are intimidated by local dill patriots, so they are guarded by Donetsk militias.
5. The collection of ownerless weapons began. In the early days, local villagers collected abandoned weapons and dug in, “schob bulo”. This was especially true for the local Tatar villages. A number of operational measures and "arsenals" began to surrender. For this, they also symbolically pay extra. $50 to $100 per barrel. They pay in rubles.
6. Enterprises are still standing. Public services are poor. Juntas should pay their salaries, but they don't. Hryvnias are washed out of the region at an accelerated pace, and new ones are not imported. The transition to the ruble is being prepared.
7. According to the results of the poll, sentiments are divided as follows: 10% are active pro-Ukrainians, 10% are sympathizers with pro-Ukrainians. The same picture is in the pro-Russian segment. 60% of residents are waiting for the normalization of the situation and are ready to accept any government. Very good layout. Despite all the dill propaganda and repressions, Kherson could not be reformatted.
8. We work, brothers!
Nisam bio siguran za "sowing", pogledam rusku riječ, посевная, bilo je jasno sve u trenutku

Očekivano, Rusi seljacima daju jeftine resurse i tako ih pridobijaju. S obzirom na blisku srodnost dva naroda i na slab imovinski status tamo (pa još na sve to, rat), vjerujem da će im ova priča upaliti i bukvalno sam očekivao da im na prvu ulete ovako jeftinim resursima.
Elem, polemiše se o Čečenima dosta. Istina, djeluje da se više slikaju, nego bore, a dobili smo i potvrdu da nastupaju u drugom ešalonu. Ali, ne mislim da to znači da su beskorisni, već da opet ide politika ispred vojske.
Na prvom mjestu, velika pogibija Čečena mislim da bi mogla stvoriti ili pojačati neki anti-ruski sentiment tamo, što je veoma opasna igranka, istoriju svi znamo.
Drugo, da budem iskren, prilično me strah da ne naprave neke veće zločine, za sada su se zadržali na maltretiranjima, možda Rusi i to imaju na umu.
Treće, to su jedinice sa iskustvom još iz Gruzije, pa i iz Sirije, a s obzirom na borbeni i generalno borilački fanatizam koji je dosta ukorijenjen u vjerskom, vjerovatno da su u pitanju zaista čvrsti borci. Zašto ih potrošiti još u ovoj fazi rata, kad ima većih ciljeva, još uvijek.
