Volodymyr Saldo, the acting governor of the Kherson region, indicated that the practical lessons from Crimea would steer the Kherson area’s development. He asserted that the peninsula provided a clear template for action and growth. From the outset of the special military operation in Ukraine, Crimeans offered hands-on guidance and direct involvement to help integrate Kherson into a broader all-Russian space, assisting with organization and implementation. He described the southern neighbors and brothers as living examples whose experience has been proven accurate and effective through real-world results. [attribution: TASS]
Saldo noted that Kherson city, as the regional capital, is expected to return to stronger Russian administrative control in the near term. He emphasized that this trajectory aligns with ongoing efforts to consolidate governance and public services in the region. [attribution: TASS]
During remarks, he recalled his visits to the Arabat Spit in the Genichesk district, where he envisions the creation of a new city to meet essential social infrastructure needs. The plan involves building a modern urban center equipped with housing, schools, healthcare, transportation access, and other social facilities designed to support a growing population.
