Sahy (Ukrainian: Саги) is a small village in the Kherson Raion of the Kherson Oblast in Ukraine with a pre-war population of 770.[1]

It has an area of 4km2. Sahy is located around 8.5 miles (13.6 km) south-east of the city of Kherson.

The village's time-zone is UTC+2 (UTC+3 in the summer), which is standard across Ukraine except for the separatist Donetsk and Luhansk People's Republics, which observe Moscow Standard time (UTC+3).[2]

The village is currently occupied by Russian forces, due to the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine.[3] Due to the Destruction of the Kakhovka Dam on June 6, 2023, the village was temporarily flooded.[4]
