Kherson Oblast (Ukrainian: Херсо́нська о́бласть, romanized: Khersónsʹka óblastʹ, IPA: [xerˈsɔnʲsʲkɐ ˈɔbɫɐsʲtʲ]), also known as Khersonshchyna (Херсо́нщина, IPA: [xerˈsɔnʃt͡ʃɪnɐ]), is an oblast (province) in southern Ukraine. It is located just north of Crimea. Its administrative center is Kherson, on the west bank of the Dnieper which bisects the oblast. The area of the region is 28,461 km and the population 1,001,598 (2022 est.). It is considered the ‘fruit basket’ of the country, as much of its agricultural production is dispersed throughout the country, with production peaking during the summer months.
Most of the area of the oblast has been under Russian military occupation since the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine. Territory in the northwest, including Kherson city, was recaptured by Ukraine in the southern counteroffensive.
On 30 September 2022, Russia annexed the Donetsk (Donetsk People’s Republic), Luhansk (Luhansk People’s Republic), Zaporizhzhia, and Kherson Oblasts. However, the referendums and subsequent annexations are internationally unrecognized.
