French Humanitarian Workers Banned in Kherson Oblast After Deadly Russian Attack

Following a Russian attack that killed two French humanitarian workers in Kherson Oblast, foreign volunteers, NGO workers, and embassy staff are now prohibited from entering certain areas without permission from local authorities. The ban comes after the city of Beryslav, located in the region, was targeted by Russian forces. France plans to summon the Russian ambassador to condemn the killings, and the Kherson Oblast Military Administration stated that permission is required for foreign representatives to enter areas frequently shelled by Russian forces. This incident follows the deaths of two other foreign NGO workers in the region due to Russian shelling in September.
