Kherson Marks Fourth Anniversary Of Its Liberation

(MENAFN- UkrinForm) Oleksandr Prokudin, head of the Kherson Regional Military Administration, announced this on Facebook, Ukrinform reports.

“On the fourth anniversary of the liberation of the hero city of Kherson and the right bank of Kherson region, I paid tribute to the people who enable our region to keep living and fighting despite extremely difficult circumstances,” the post reads.

Prokudin said he had presented state awards and regional honors to representatives of the healthcare sector, media organizations, municipal enterprises, and public administration, as well as to volunteers and law enforcement officers.

Despite constant Russian shelling and drone terror, the region's cities and villages remain Ukrainian. This is largely thanks to the people who continue to work, provide assistance, keep communities running, and care for others, he noted.

“I bow my head in memory of all those who gave their lives for Kherson region: the service members who died defending our land and the civilians whose lives were taken by Russian aggression,” the regional administration head added.
