An official of the Moscow-backed administration in Kherson, Kirill Stremousov, was quoted by Russian state news agency TASS as saying that plans to hold a referendum on the region joining Russia had been ‘paused’ due to the security situation.
Stremousov was quoted by TASS as saying that the Antonivskyi bridge, which crosses the Dnipro River near regional capital Kherson, can no longer be crossed after weeks of Ukrainian shelling.
Officials in the Russian-installed local administration had previously said that a referendum on joining Russia would be held in September. Similar referendums were planned in the Zaporizhzhia, Donetsk and Luhansk regions.
A number of Russian-installed Kherson officials have been assassinated in recent weeks. Alexei Kovalev, a former lawmaker of Zelenskyy’s Servant of the People party who joined the Moscow-backed administration in Kherson, was shot on August 30.
Kherson is the only Ukrainian regional capital that has been captured by Russian forces since the start of the invasion. Most of the Kherson region, which borders the Russian-annexed Crimean Peninsula to the south, was captured by Russian forces in March.

Glory to Ukrainian
Ukrainian forces have launched likely opportunistic counterattacks in southern Kharkiv Oblast and retaken several settlements. Russian redeployments of forces from this area to defend against the Ukrainian counteroffensive in Kherson likely prompted and facilitated these counterattacks.
▪ Ukrainian forces are continuing an operational-level interdiction campaign and striking Russian logistics nodes, transportation assets, manpower and equipment concentrations, and control points across Kherson Oblast.
▪ Russian and Ukrainian sources discussed kinetic activity northwest of Kherson City and in western Kherson Oblast along the Inhulets River.
▪ Russian forces made incremental gains south of Bakhmut and continued ground attacks north, northwest, and southwest of Donetsk City.
▪ Russian authorities continue setting conditions to Russify Ukrainians living in Russian-occupied Ukrainian territory.

Finally some good news for DW news team.
Who cares….about Ukraine's opinions…they have no credibility
There is no other sign of counteroffensive but reports from the war fields. Since your reporter sits comfortably in Kiev and has no update on the map, the answer is simple.
The Russian administration are making a cowardly attack on Zaporizhzia power station, like a hostage taker holding a knife to the throat of a child to get what he wants.
They should follow the United Nations request to show they care. Ukraine is following the UN.
That pause could last awhile.
Since the beginning, Nick hasn't been objective at all. Everything he said wouldn't happen, did. Everything he says is happening, isn't. It is very unfortunate
Dear DW Journalist , just for the info .
This Picture of this guy with beard on front you use . He is now with Bandera…
If russia lose vote it will divide the region in half 😅
🙍♀They are a laughing stock of the entire world, losing a war against 20 HIMARS, and all the European Union weapons. Zelensky has ordered the Ukrainian army commanders to blow up nuclear plants, to recover the territory Zelensky lost to Russia. Biden has spent roughly three-quarters of the $40 billion approved by the USA Congress in May, officials told the Associated Press, and Biden wants to spend $13.7 billion more. Biden and the European Union continues announcing multi-billion dollar packages to fund weapons and ammo, surface-to-air missile systems, counter-drone technology, and drones. “Together we will win!” 🐑Zelensky wrote on social media, thanking Biden and Europe for financing the war. 🐏“Blame rising gasoline prices, rising electricity prices, rising heating gas prices on Putin. Not the economic sanctions European privileged leaders imposed on Russia”
Any sane person can never think of Kyiv taking back koerson region from the russians. 😎😎😎
3:33 – 3:52 I am not sure that is true. surely modern nuclear powerplants have planned for such events, as power outages.
Chernobyl didn't even happen because of a power outage, it happened because it was badly designed, a flawed reactor design. modern nuclear plants are also better protected in case of meltdown, mitigating risks to outside. however. he should have said this: " according to nuclear experts, accidentally going off from power outages is not a risk. however, according to defense experts, driving it to meltdown intentionally is a risk. " if it meltdowns intentionally , they will also put bombs in place which will make the protections go away, which will make it more lethal radiation bomb.
I would be VERY concerned if I were Ivan
Lol Russia will take half of Ukraine if Sanctions are not lifted ..
Europe should stop giving visa to russians and states who help them ;turkey,china should be punished too nothing buy from them nothing sell to them
