Background:

On 11 November, Defence Intelligence reported that the city of Kherson was back under the control of Ukraine, and units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine were entering the city. The retreat routes of the occupiers were under the fire control of the Ukrainian army.

On 12 November, the legitimate Kherson Oblast State and Military Administrations, as well as the Security Service of Ukraine and the National Police, started working in the city. At the same time, a curfew from 17:00 to 08:00 was imposed.

The first base stations of mobile operators in Kherson are operating on Starlink generators and terminals due to the lack of electricity.

On Friday, 11 November, the state-owned PrivatBank started taking measures to reopen its branches and network of ATMs and terminals in liberated Kherson.
