“Now the border is closed for security reasons.

Crossing the border from the Mykolaiv and Dnipropetrovsk regions is very dangerous, given the systematic shelling of Ukrainian militants, ”RIA Novosti quotes Stremousov.

The authorities of the region recommended that citizens refrain from traveling to Ukraine in connection with the shelling.

According to Stremousov, it is now possible to travel from the Kherson region to the Crimea, as well as to the liberated part of the Zaporozhye region.

Earlier, Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a decree on simplified admission to Russian citizenship of residents of the Zaporozhye and Kherson regions.

According to the head of the military-civilian administration of the Kherson region Vladimir Saldo, centers for obtaining Russian citizenship will open in the region in the near future.

In addition, the first branch of a Russian bank will appear in Kherson.
