Zaporizhzhia region forever leaves the structure of Ukraine. The corresponding statement was made by Vladimir Rogov, a member of the main council of the military-civilian administration of the region.
“Zaporizhzhya land forever leaves the structure of Ukraine. The Zaporozhye region has set a course for reunification with Russia and there will be no turning back. Therefore, I advise the Zelensky regime to get used to it now and begin to perceive and identify the Zaporozhye region exclusively with Russia“, – RIA Novosti quotes him.
Rogov noted that Kyiv is well aware that local residents want to reunite with Russia. That is why the Ukrainian authorities are trying to threaten civilians by shelling schools, hospitals and kindergartens.
However, according to Rogov, residents of the Zaporozhye region will not change their choice.
During a special operation to protect the Donbass, the Russian military took control of the Kherson region and the Azov part of the Zaporozhye region. New administrations have been formed in both regions. The regions announced plans to become part of Russia.
On August 1, the deputy head of the administration of the Kherson region, Kirill Stremousov, said that the region was actively preparing for a referendum on joining Russia.
On July 31, Volodymyr Rogov, a member of the main council of the administration of the Zaporozhye region, said that, according to preliminary information, a referendum on the status of Zaporozhye could be held in the first half of September.
