| Statistical information | |
The Cherson Oblast ( Ukrainian Херсонська область / Chersonska oblast ; Russian Херсонская область / Chersonskaja oblast ) is one of 25 administrative units ( Oblasts of Ukraine ) in southern Ukraine . It has around 1.08 million inhabitants (2014). Its southern border is formed by the Black Sea in the western part , the Isthmus of Perekop connects the Oblast with the Crimea . To the east of it, the Sywasch forms a filigree network of bodies of water, islands and peninsulas that transition to the Sea of Azov . There are further transport connections to Crimea via the Chonhar peninsula. The oblast is bordered by Mykolaiv Oblast to the west , Dnipropetrovsk Oblast to the north and Zaporizhia Oblast to the east .
The oblast is traversed by the partially dammed Dnepr , which continues from Kherson in a wide delta interspersed with islands, before it flows over the Dnepr-Bug-Liman into the Black Sea. The North Crimean Canal branches off from the Dnieper and supplies the south of the oblast - and until 2014 the Crimean peninsula - with water. The Askanija-Nowa nature reserve in the oblast with its natural steppe vegetation is internationally known . The Oleschky Sands is the largest desert area in Ukraine in the oblast. In the southeast of the oblast, in the Sea of Azov, is Byryuchy Island .
