The first train arrives in Kherson since it was liberated from Russian occupation

The first train, dubbed the “Victory Train”, arrived in liberated Kherson today, while the city’s infrastructure is being restored and tickets are also being sold for similar convoys to Mariupol, Donetsk and Crimea, in the hope that the Russian-occupied territories are returned to Ukrainian control.

Some 200 passengers arrived this morning in the city for the first time since the link with the country’s capital was cut by the Russian occupation.

According to the public channel “Suspilne”, they were received by inhabitants of the city at the railway station, one of the few places in Kherson where electricity, communication and water supplies have already been restored.
