Russian forces are conducting a door-to-door census in occupied Kherson Oblast, checking if civilians have Russian passports and searching for local partisans.

The Russians are conducting the so-called 'population census' in the temporarily occupied territories of Kherson Oblast. Their goal is to check if civilians of the region own Russian passports.

Those who have not yet received a Russian passport, are being threatened and forced to acquire such a passport as soon as possible.

The census is being conducted by the military. They are checking the people and looking for the partisans among them.

Kherson Oblast Governor Oleksandr Prokudin said one civilian died from shrapnel wounds after Russian forces shelled the village of Stanislav on May 22.

According to Prokudin, a 45-year-old man was repairing the previously-damaged roof of a house when a shell fragment hit his heart, killing him on the spot.

Four buildings were also damaged by the shelling in Stanislav.

Russian forces also targeted the village of Kizomys overnight with two guided bombs, according to Prokudin.

In the temporarily occupied territory of the Kherson region, the occupation administration is organizing the United Russia primaries.

Yurii Sobolevsky, the first deputy chairman of the Kherson Regional Council, reported that these are elections before the elections with the aim of determining the only candidate from the region.

Despite pressure by occupiers to obtain Russian passports, Ukrainian passport holders with Kherson registration are allowed to participate in this process.
