Vladimir Vasilyevich Saldo (Russian: Владимир Васильевич Сальдо, Ukrainian: Володимир Васильович Сальдо, romanized: Volodymyr Vasylovych Saldo; born 12 June 1956) is a Ukrainian and Russian politician serving as the acting collaborationist governor of the annexed Kherson Oblast since 4 October 2022. A member of the ruling United Russia, he previously served as the head of the Russian-installed Kherson military-civilian administration from 26 April to 4 October 2022.
Prior to the invasion, Saldo served three terms as mayor of Kherson from 2002 to 2012, and later as a People's Deputy in the Verkhovna Rada from 2012 to 2014, representing the pro-Russian Party of Regions.
On 2 October 2024 Saldo announced the forced conscription of Ukrainians living in occupied Kherson oblast into the Russian military. A journalist with the Kyiv Independent said that this constituted a war crime under Article 51 of the Fourth Geneva Convention.
