Putin appointed deputy head of Kherson killed in car crash

The Russian-installed deputy head of occupied Ukrainian city Kherson has been killed in a car crash, local officials have reported.

The death of pro-Moscow Kirill Stremousov, 45, who was appointed two months after the Russian invasion, has been confirmed by numerous sources. Wanted for treason by the Ukrainian police, he lost his life in an accident near the port city of Henichesk in the south of the country, just over 100 miles from Kherson.

Earlier today, he had accused the West of being behind the Ukrainian advance in Kherson. Many English and Polish-speaking mercenaries were among the advancing forces, he alleged, while also telling how there was an evacuation from Kherson, reports the Mirror.
