Thus, the scheme of the trip remained the same as before the full-scale war: passengers go only to the administrative border with Crimea, after checking at the Russian checkpoint cross it on foot, and then get on another bus.
In addition, as indicated, the invaders did not launch a railway connection between Melitopol, Kherson and Crimea.
However, the propaganda media emphasize that the buses between Simferopol and Kherson left “for the first time in 8 years.”

“Bus service between Kherson and Crimea has always existed. From Kherson, Kakhovka, Nova Kakhovka and other settlements it was possible to get to Simferopol, Sevastopol, Kerch, Dzhankoy and any corners on the occupied peninsula all previous years. The only condition for the passengers was a change to another bus after crossing the administrative border between Crimea and Kherson region on foot, ”the statement reads.
The Central Railways adds that with the passage of the Russian military, the fare has increased from 600 to 867 hryvnias.
Also, according to the agency, from July 1, the occupation authorities also promised to launch a passenger railway service between Crimea and the temporarily occupied part of Zaporizhia and Kherson regions. However, on the evening of June 30, Russia’s so-called “head of Crimea,” Sergei Aksyonov, said that the first flights were allegedly postponed due to “failure to complete work on railway safety.”
Addition
In the Kherson area, owing to massive attacks , and also devastation of the houses, the settlements adjacent to Nikolaevshchina are on the verge of destruction. The occupiers mined fields and roads.
