The situation in the Zaporizhzhia region

Russian troops occupied the territory along the coast of the Azov Sea in the first months of the full-scale invasion. Currently, the Russians are daily shelling settlements in the Zaporizhzhia region.

The Russian occupiers are terrorizing the local population, forcing them to take Russian passports. Additionally, the occupiers are preparing to hold so-called "elections" in the temporarily occupied territories of the Zaporizhzhia region.
