🔵 Occupation Authorities in the Kherson Region Once Again Demonstrate Their Inability to Address Critical Infrastructure Problems The occupation administration in the Kherson region has once again demonstrated its complete inability to address critical infrastructure problems. Instead of repairing pumping stations, restoring power grids, and ensuring a stable water supply, the occupiers are effectively forcing people to live without basic utilities. Due to constant power outages, dozens of settlements remain without water. Rather than addressing the underlying causes of the failures, the occupation authorities are offering to deliver water by tanker trucks and instructing officials to determine who specifically needs it. ▶️ Pumping stations and power grids are not being restored. ▶️ A stable water supply is being replaced with water deliveries by tanker trucks. ▶️ Residents are being forced to inform officials of their basic needs. ▶️ No systemic solutions are being proposed to restore the region’s infrastructure.

Officially, these appointments are justified as part of “patriotic education” and the transfer of experience to the younger generation.
