The Russian occupiers have built a military training ground in Arabatska Strilka (Genichesky district, Kherson region), where they shoot red-listed birds as part of "training".

Deputy of the Kherson Regional Council Serhii Khlan announced this at a briefing, reports UNIAN. According to him, the occupied left-bank part of the Kherson region is still suffering from the actions of the occupiers.

"Arabatskaya Strelka is now a military zone of the russians, because they actually made their military training ground there, where the mobilized military of the Russian Federation arrives. From there they are sent to various directions, in particular Zaporizhia or Kherson. That is, Arabatskaya Strelka and all sanatoriums are now mostly a military base , where both those who go on rotation and those who arrive as mobilized come," he noted.

The deputy also reported that the occupiers had set up a helipad on Arabatska Strelka.

"Yesterday it was reported that the occupiers simply started shooting red-listed birds on the coast during the "regular exercise". Arabatskaya Strelka has always been an ecological zone. And there are birds that migrated seasonally, that is, white swans are mostly found there now. The occupiers shoot red-listed birds for fun," said the deputy.
