"We have now returned to our native family. We know that behind us there is a biggest, strongest country in the world - our Motherland, Russia. President Vladimir Putin is paying the greatest attention to the restoration of peaceful life, although fighting continues. We are still on the way to building a peaceful future. And its possibilities are presented at our exposition", — said Vladimir Saldo.
According to the head of the region, despite the difficulties with water supply, flooding and problems with land reclamation, the Kherson region has harvested one and a half million tons of grain this year, and "Kherson vegetables and watermelons are already on the shelves of the whole country".
