ദക്ഷിണ ഉക്രൈൻ തുറമുഖ നഗരമായ കേഴ്സൻ റഷ്യ പിടിച്ചെടുത്തു
Kherson (Ukrainian: Херсо́н, IPA: [xerˈsɔn] (listen)) is a city in the south of Ukraine. It is the administrative center of Kherson Oblast and an economic center. Kherson is an important port on the Black Sea and on the Dnieper River, and the home of a major ship-building industry. It is the center of Kherson Raion and hosts the administration of Kherson urban hromada, one of the hromadas of Ukraine. As of 2021, it had a population of 283,649 (2021 est.).
The city was founded by the decree of Catherine the Great on 18 June 1778 on the high bank of the Dnieper as a central fortress of the Black Sea Fleet. 1783 saw the city granted the rights of a district town and the opening of a local shipyard. In the year the Kherson Shipping Company began operations. In 1803 the city became the capital of the Kherson Governorate. The city was occupied by the Third Reich from 19 August 1941 to 13 March 1944.
Since 2014, Kherson has housed the office of the Ukrainian President's representative in Crimea.
Until 18 July 2020, Kherson was incorporated as a city of oblast significance and the center of Kherson Municipality. The municipality was abolished in July 2020 as part of the administrative reform of Ukraine, which reduced the number of raions of Kherson Oblast to five. The area of Kherson Municipality was merged into newly established Kherson Raion.
The city was a site of heavy fighting in the first days of the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine (Kherson offensive). The city was conquered by the Russians on 2 March 2022.
It was named after the city-colony of Chersonesos, located in Crimea, as the first city from the Greek project of Grigory Potemkin and Catherine II. The ancient name "Chersonese" was from the ancient Greek dialect word chersonesos which meant peninsula, shore. But the Byzantine version, which first appears in the days of Emperor Zeno, was used for the name.
