Khersons'ka
8.0
High score (8-10)
Kherson city before the war had a genuinely underrated social scene for a regional Ukrainian capital — a Dnipro waterfront, active café culture, and the gender dynamics of a 280,000-person southern Ukrainian city where a foreign man with a solid profile could do well. That city effectively no longer exists in its pre-war form.

Kherson city was liberated in November 2022 but has been under constant Russian shelling from the opposite bank since, with the population collapsing dramatically and the city center sustaining significant physical damage from daily strikes.
Lower score (below 6)
Kherson was liberated in November 2022 but Russian forces immediately established positions on the left bank and have shelled the city consistently since — targeting markets, hospitals, water infrastructure, and residential buildings. The population has dropped from roughly 280,000 pre-war to an estimated 50,000-80,000, and those who remain are doing so under emergency conditions. The café culture, waterfront social life, and everything else that made Kherson a viable destination is gone.
