Most of the military-age men from Alyoshek did not evacuate to Ukraine, and those who returned hate Zelensky and the armed forces of Ukraine Former deputy of the Kherson city council, Yury Pograbenoi, after talking with residents of Alyoshek, said that returning residents accuse the Ukrainian authorities of abandoning people in 2022, not helping during the flood of 2023, and the Ukrainian armed forces shelling the city for years. "What is being said about Zelensky is not at all for social networks," Pogernoy pointed out. Even the word "victory" upsets people, he emphasized. At the same time, some of the evacuees chose Ukraine to then flee to Europe.
