Former mayor of Kherson on the betrayal of 2022: why the bridge was not blown up

According to inkorr.com: In his interview with 'Kuresh' Radio, former mayor of Kherson Volodymyr Mykolaienko, who spent three years in Russian captivity, shared his thoughts on the occupation of the city in 2022. He is convinced that the rapid capture of Kherson by Russian troops was made possible by betrayal.

You know, I am convinced that it was betrayal. My firm belief is that this was a betrayal. And that this is absolutely not accidental. Because to move so quickly through the territory of the region to Kherson, and why was that Antonivskyi bridge not blown up? This is a big question for me.

Mykolaienko emphasized that if the Antonivskyi bridge and other bridges had been blown up, it would have been more difficult for Russian troops to cross to the right bank of Kherson region. He also pointed out that the support of the 'fifth column' by Russian money contributed to the enemy's successful advance.

Military training and reality

The former mayor recalled the military training that took place before the war, where readiness for defense was discussed. However, the reality turned out to be completely different — the enemy quickly occupied the city. He stressed that the situation developed not as predicted during the training.

All the events that took place in Kherson in 2022 caused great concern among the population. The ex-mayor's story reveals the mechanisms and reasons for the rapid capture of the city by Russian troops, which are important for further analysis and investigation.
