As a celebration of the recapture of the city of Kherson, Ukrainian Railways on Sunday (November 13) offered symbolic tickets to the public. The tickets are from Kyiv to Kherson and other Ukrainian cities under Russian control.
Jubilant residents welcomed Ukrainian troops to central Kherson on Friday after Russia abandoned the only regional capital it has occupied since the invasion began in February.

“Today you can order tickets for the first three trains from Kyiv to five cities: Kherson, which is already vacant, as well as Mariupol, Donetsk, Luhansk and Simferopol,” the company said. The railway operator said on the Telegram messaging app.
“This ticket can be purchased as a symbol of faith in the armed forces and the liberation of Ukraine from the occupiers,” it said. “Once traffic resumes, railway officials will send a message stating the date and location.”
Tickets start at 1,000 hryvnia ($27.40).
