What was said

"the governor himself said that oblast is un is uninhabitable, is unsupportable because of the daily drone strikes. And what is that? They have knocked out the electricity. When he spoke at this teleconference, there was no electricity in the region."

A guest on Judging Freedom alleges, citing a teleconference he says was organised via the Russian embassy in Brussels, that officials and medics in occupied Kherson described Ukrainian drone strikes as making the area unsafe. He says they claimed drones cut electricity and were used to drop landmines onto streets and pavements. These assertions are not independently verified in the clip.
