Prokudin refutes Russian fake about defense of Korabelnyi district

Ukrinform
The head of the Kherson Regional Military Administration, Oleksandr Prokudin, has refuted a piece of Russian propaganda claiming he allegedly issued an order concerning the defense of the Korabelnyi district.

According to Ukrinform, Prokudin stated this on Telegram.

"Russian propaganda is trying to surprise again. This time they invented a story about 'sending everyone to defend the Korabelnyi district,'" Prokudin wrote.

He noted that, in order to give their fantasies some weight, Russian propagandists even fabricated a directive.

The fake directive, dated November 16, 2025, mentions, among other things, an alleged plan to involve conscripts and reservists who have deferments from mobilization in guarding and defending the Korabel microdistrict.

Prokudin stressed that he had not signed any such documents, and no one else had either.

"If you want to keep inventing nonsense — at least learn how to format text properly so it is not embarrassing," he added.
