Life in occupied Ukraine: Kherson and Zaporizhzhia

Three years into the full scale invasion of Ukraine, we explore the Kremlin鈥檚 challenges in subjugating the newly occupied Kherson and Zaporizhzhia regions.

Russia鈥檚 land grab playbook aimed at erasing local identity and Russifying 鈥渓iberated鈥 territories. Three years into the full scale invasion of Ukraine, we ask what life is like in areas under Russian control. Part 1 looks at 鈥渞ipe for Russification鈥 Crimea, which was annexed 11 years ago. Part 2 focuses on Moscow鈥檚 subsequent efforts to assert itself in the separatist East. And in Part 3 we explore the Kremlin鈥檚 challenges in subjugating occupied parts of the Kherson and Zaporizhzhia regions. As time passes, the uncertainty over the future of what Ukraine calls 鈥渢emporarily occupied territories鈥 grows bigger.
