Kherson, a region occupied for months by the Russian army, will ask to join Russia in the next period, the governor appointed by the Russians to administer the region affirmed this yesterday, so the procedure will take place in the following days , as was rumored in the past.
Kherson was one of the first regions occupied by the Russian army after the invasion of Russia began, and as things stand, there are very little chances that it will be recaptured by the Ukrainian army, especially after it will be annexed to Russia, things going to get even more complicated from that point.
"We see the Russian Federation as our own country," Volodymyr Saldo said, adding the new budget of Kherson region has been approved in Russian rubles.
