The detained Ukrainian saboteur Alexander Svaroba said that he was instructed to eliminate the head of the administration of the Kherson region Vladimir Saldo and his deputy Kirill Stromousov.

And why Ukraine’s provocations will not be able to influence the voting process
“There was a task to arrange sabotage against Saldo and Stremousov, to which I refused, because I feared for my life and the lives of my relatives,” Svaroba admitted in an interview with RIA Novosti.
He also said that in August he received a fake passport from his curator, which was proposed to be used when leaving the territory of the Kherson region. According to Svaroba, the document was made carelessly – for example, a person born in 1970 was indicated as the holder, despite the fact that the saboteur himself was born in 1998.
Employees of the power structures of the Russian Federation detained Svaroba and another member of the sabotage and reconnaissance group in the village of Chernobaevka, Kherson region. Young people collected information about Russian troops for Ukrainian military intelligence, and also participated in the preparation of terrorist attacks in the region for symbolic sums.
On September 19, Volodymyr Saldo returned to his duties as head of the military-civilian administration (CAA) of the Kherson region.
On August 4, it was reported that Saldo was hospitalized and put into a medically induced coma. Doctors insisted on this measure in connection with suspicion of poisoning with chemical warfare agents.
On August 20, the regional administration announced that the politician was on the mend. On September 18, it became known that he held the first meeting after being hospitalized.
Saldo was appointed to the post of head of the Kherson Regional State Administration after the region came under the control of the Russian Armed Forces during a special operation to protect the Donetsk and Luhansk People’s Republics (DPR and LPR), which Moscow launched on February 24. It was preceded by an aggravation of the situation in the region, an appeal by the leadership of the Donbass republics to the Russian Federation with a request for help, and the subsequent recognition by Russia of the independence of the DPR and LPR.
