Kherson, Port city in southern Ukraine
The city extends along the right bank of the Dnieper River where it meets the Black Sea, including major shipyards and maritime facilities.
Catherine II established the city in 1778 as a fortress and shipyard under General Ivan Hannibal's supervision to strengthen Russian naval presence.
The city maintains two theaters, a philharmonic orchestra, and multiple museums that present traditional Ukrainian performances throughout the year.
The local climate includes cold winters and summer temperatures reaching 40 degrees Celsius, with an annual precipitation of 444 millimeters.
The strategic position made it the first major regional capital captured during the 2022 conflict before returning to Ukrainian control in November.
