The Volodymyr Saldo Bloc (Ukrainian: Блок Володимира Сальдо, romanized: Blok Volodymyra Saldo, Russian: Блок Владимира Сальдо, romanized: Blok Vladimira Saldo, abbr. БВС or BVS) was a minor regionalist[citation needed] political party in Kherson Oblast, Ukraine headed by Volodymyr Saldo. The party was founded in 2019[7][8][9] and won 5 seats in the Kherson Oblast Council in the 2020 local elections,[10] while Saldo finished second in the mayoral election.[11]
Following their opposition to Saldo's activities in Russian-occupied Kherson in 2022, deputies of the Saldo Bloc announced that they would be serving in the "Support to the programs of the President of Ukraine" faction.[12] On 20 March 2022, the party's activities were suspended by the National Security and Defense Council for the period of martial law due to allegations of having ties to Russia made by the Council.[13][14] The chair of the party at the time was Iryna Khrunyk.[7] On 14 June 2022 the Eighth Administrative Court of Appeal banned the activities of the party.[1]
