In the temporarily occupied territories of the Zaporizhzhia region, the Russian forces are attempting to solve the personnel shortage by bringing in militants from Russia, according to the National Resistance Center.

It is reported that in the occupied territories, Russians continue to face a staff deficit and are trying to fill it with people from Russia. To this end, they launched a program with the grandiose title “Zaporozhskye Heroy,” which is populated with individuals who have no ties to the region.

According to the National Resistance Center, only 21 candidates were recruited to work in the so-called administrations of Zaporizhzhia. They will undergo a month of training conducted by instructors brought specifically from Moscow, after which they will be assigned to positions in the Russian structures.

However, their presence in the offices may be short-lived. The Defense Forces emphasize that such heroes are legitimate targets and bear full responsibility for participating in collaborationist projects.

The National Resistance Center reminds residents of the temporarily occupied territories that they can anonymously report information about occupiers and traitors via a special chatbot, as well as join the resistance movement.

Meanwhile, a video has appeared online showing a strike on a private house in Zaporizhzhia, according to the head of the Zaporizhzhia Regional Military Administration, Ivan Fedorov. The incident was recorded by surveillance cameras.

Russian forces struck Zaporizhzhia again on the night of September 7. This time, the target was a city enterprise, which sustained damage. The shelling damaged a production workshop building.
