Quote: "Yesterday [9 October – ed.], a significant amount of explosives was dropped – and today it was 'advertised' as a special achievement – next to a monument that was installed by our grandfathers, and some people's great-grandfathers, here in front of the executive committee on the square."
Details: Russian media reported that the monument sustained minor damage. Windows shattered in the administration building nearby.
Background:
The monument was installed by the occupiers in April 2022. This was reported even by Russian propagandists themselves. Prior to that, in 2014, the monument to Lenin had been removed by the local authorities.
On 10 October 2023, Kherson media reported that it had been set on fire by unknown individuals.
