From May 1, 2022, Ukraine’s Kherson region will start using the Russian Ruble as its official currency said, the region “military-civil administration”.

According to Kirill Stremousov, Kherson administrator, the transition to the Russian Ruble will take up to four months, during which time it will circulate alongside Ukraine’s official currency, the hryvnia.

Earlier this week on Tuesday, Russia said it had gained full control of Ukraine’s Kherson region, which is of strategic importance since it provides part of the land link between the Crimea peninsula and Russian-backed separatist areas in the east.

According to local authorities in Ukraine, Russia has appointed its own mayor for Kherson and has taken over the regional headquarters.
