More than just cities. The code of resilience. Kherson region

In the special series “More Than Cities. The Code of Resilience,” the Ukrainian Crisis Media Center reveals the true essence of Ukrainian cities—each and every one of them is a hero city, and each has its own unique voice. The first episode is dedicated to the Kherson region—a land where the histories of the world intertwine: from the ancient Greeks to the Cossack free spirit, from степpe civilizations to the modern struggle for freedom.

This is a region of striking natural beauty—from the Askania-Nova reserve to the vast Oleshky Sands, shaping its distinctive character. But the greatest value of the Kherson region is its people: strong, dignified, devoted—those who do not bow to hardship and are always ready to defend their land. It is within them that the true code of resilience is embedded, making this region not just unique, but unbreakable.
