Additional information:

The General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine has stripped a number of representatives of Ukrainian and foreign media of their accreditation for materials from de-occupied Kherson. According to the AFU, the work in this region on the first day after the de-occupation was «unauthorized and unapproved». The public, in turn, does not agree with this decision, because, thanks to the materials of these journalists, the whole world had an opportunity to see the emotions of Kherson residents, who saw the Ukrainian military for the first time after 9 months of Russian occupation.
