The balance denies reports of the draft of the inhabitants of the Kherson region in the Russian army

Acting head of the Kherson region Volodymyr Saldo said that reports about the conscription of residents of the region to the Russian army are not true. Earlier, such information appeared in a number of Ukrainian media.

“Deceitful propagandists of the Kyiv regime are making another stuffing that in the Kherson region they are forcibly conscripting men into the RF Armed Forces and “throwing” them to the front lines. Of course, this is a lie invented by liars,” he wrote in his Telegram channel. Mr. Saldo noted that residents of the region can, if they wish, sign up for the local volunteer battalion.
