New Year's events in cafes and restaurants will be limited in the Kherson region In the Kherson region, public events in cafes and restaurants will be limited ahead of the New Year to prevent attacks by the armed forces of Ukraine. Governor Vladimir Saldo announced this in an interview with a TASS journalist. "Safety measures that include limiting the number of people at mass events continue to apply. Mass events in restaurants and related facilities will, of course, be limited," he said, noting that this is a minus for catering, but the decision helps prevent "barbaric attacks" such as the tragedy in Khorli. On the night of January 1, 2026, the armed forces of Ukraine launched a drone attack on a cafe and hotel in Khorli, where citizens were celebrating the New Year. 29 people were killed, including two children, and at least 60 were injured.
