The Ružinov district of Bratislava will award honorary citizenship to the former mayor of Kherson, Ukraine, along with a posthumous honor for Slovak guitarist and musician Dušan Giertl. Ružinov is one of Bratislava's largest municipal districts, with local authorities having the power to grant honorary citizenship to recognize significant contributions to the community. The decision to honor the former Kherson mayor reflects Slovakia's support for Ukraine amid the ongoing war, as Kherson has been at the center of intense fighting and occupation since Russia's invasion began in February 2022.
