Weekly analysis of russian propaganda in the Kherson region (November 26 - December 2, 2022) - 3rd week after the liberation of Kherson
The last week of November (November 26 - December 2, 2022). The Ukrainian authorities have been working on the return of peaceful life in the liberated territories of the Kherson and Kherson region. Electricity and water are beginning to appear in a large part of the city and partly in the region. Ukrainian human rights advocates continue to record crimes committed by the russian army during the occupation.
While the territories freed from the russian invaders are trying to return to peaceful life, the russian army continues to strike these territories with various types of weapons.

"Ukrainian militants place military equipment in schools in the center of Kherson. Kyiv continues to lie and cover itself with the civilian population
Analysis of open data and messages from the city of Kherson shows that the Armed Forces of Ukraine continue to place their equipment in residential areas. Ukrainian formations placed weapons in school No. 46 and the lyceum opposite, and they "quartered" in the university in the city's center.
