Russian soldiers were actively looting the temporarily occupied territory of Kherson region and taking property to Crimea before the Kakhovka hydroelectric power plant was blown up.

That's according to the National Resistance Center, Ukrinform reports.

It is noted that Russian soldiers continue to terrorize the temporarily occupied territories. In particular, on the left bank of the Kherson region, looting by the invaders' troops continues.

"On the eve of the hydroelectric power plant blowing up, they started stealing property more actively and taking it to Crimea. The Russians were looting not only on the left bank, but also occupied hotels and recreation centers in resort towns and villages. In particular, the village of Strilkove," the statement reads.

Also, on the eve of the terrorist attack, Russians intensified their search for the Ukrainian partisans.

"These events once again indicate that the Russians were planning to blow up the Kakhovka hydroelectric power plant and had taken a number of preparatory measures. In particular, during the spring, the Russians systematically evacuated their occupation administrations from the left bank of the Kherson region," the National Resistance Center stated.
