Having lived in Kherson since 2009, he was in the status of both a suspect, and wanted, and under arrest, being a representative of pro-Russian, pro-Kremlin organizations, a separatist - whatever they called me, ”he said.

In addition, the deputy head of the administration said that since "they can't reach him," they "shoot at his friends."

“My close friend was shot.

He was associated with me, but had nothing to do with the CAA.

Also, according to inaccurate information, another one was shot - a friend of my friend.

They can’t reach me, so they shoot at my friends,” Stremousov said.

He also stated that his position has never changed.

“I have always been a Russian person, I was born in Gorlovka, in the Donbass, and I have always clearly bent the line of my culture and my truth,” Stremousov said.

Earlier, Stremousov, in the RT stream “Lituchka”, answering the question whether the inhabitants of Kherson want to join Russia, said that most people want economic and social justice, as in Russia.
