On November 11, 2022, the Armed Forces of Ukraine liberated Kherson after more than eight months of Russian occupation. This event marked a significant victory for Ukraine in the ongoing conflict.
Symbols of Kherson's Liberation
Since the onset of the full-scale invasion by Russia, Kherson has been at the forefront of resistance. The city actively protested, holding pro-Ukrainian rallies, and never lost hope for the return of Ukrainian forces. Footage from Freedom Square, where hundreds of people with Ukrainian flags welcomed their defenders, became a symbol of hope and resilience.
Post-Liberation: Challenges and Dangers
Despite its liberation, Kherson has not found peace. The city continues to suffer from Russian shelling, and the left bank of the region remains under occupation. Local residents, despite the constant danger, remain in the city, working and supporting one another. They deserve a life free from fear and bombardments.
Remembering the Heroism of Defenders
Today, on the fourth anniversary of Kherson's liberation, we remember the heroism of our defenders. Thanks to their efforts, the city became free once again. We commemorate this day and express our gratitude to all who continue to defend Kherson and Ukraine.
