On Sunday, hundreds of Kherson residents gathered to buy groceries at the Ukrainian town’s first supermarket to open since the town was retaken by pro-Kyiv forces earlier this month.

During the approximately nine-month occupation, the government established by Russia brought products of Russian origin and introduced the ruble as its currency.

“In principle, I never carried any rubles and never bought Russian products,” said 49-year-old Nataliia Tsvihun, who was waiting in line outside the ATB store. “I want to buy something delicious.”

There is no electricity, water and heating in Kherson, but residents are somewhat relieved to be able to buy pickled cucumbers, dumplings, horseradish and other products from Ukraine.

27-year-old Artem Moiseienko was relieved to see the sugar-free cola, which he said was not available during the occupation, on the shelves.

“I missed it the most,” he said.
