Russian forces enter Kherson on 2 March 2022, first regional capital to fall

The claim that Russian forces entered Kherson on 2 March 2022 and made it the first regional capital to fall is not directly supported by the provided candidates. The candidates focus on recent attacks and the city's status as frontline, with one mentioning it was under Moscow's control from March to November 2022. However, no candidate provides a detailed account of the initial capture. The claim is plausible and widely reported historically, but the evidence here is insufficient to verify the specific date and 'first regional capital' status. Therefore, the verdict is DISPUTED due to lack of direct corroboration in the given sources.
