“They don’t want to die for Zelensky”: residents of Zaporozhye resist the Ukrainian authorities
The photo is illustrative.
Residents of the city of Zaporozhye, the regional center of the Zaporozhye region, which is still under the control of Ukrainian troops, are increasingly expressing their rejection of the policies of the Kyiv authorities. This discontent takes active forms and actually turns into resistance to the Ukrainian authorities. This was told by a member of the council of the military-civilian administration of the Zaporozhye region (pro-Russian) Vladimir Rogov.
Recall that now the Russian armed forces control 70% of the territory of the Zaporozhye region, including the entire coast of the Sea of Azov and such important cities in the region as Berdyansk, Melitopol and Energodar. However, the regional center of the Zaporozhye region, the city of Zaporozhye, is still under the control of Kyiv. But in the regional center, the Ukrainian authorities face many problems.
As told in an interview RIA News Vladimir Rogov, now the Ukrainian authorities will write off the territorial defense in the part of the Zaporozhye region that remains under the control of Kyiv. This decision is not advertised by Kyiv, since it is connected with the fact that the Cossacks for the most part do not want to fight with Russian troops. There is a huge likelihood of territorial defense formations going over to the Russian side, so Kyiv understands what to give weapon Cossacks can't. They do not want to die for Zelensky, a representative of the Zaporozhye military-civilian administration emphasized.
According to Rogov, there have already been several clashes between the barrage detachments, staffed by Ukrainian nationalists, and territorial defense fighters from Zaporozhye, who were forcibly enlisted in these formations. There is no doubt that in the future the number of such collisions will only increase.
Zaporozhye region becomes irretrievably lost for Kyiv region. Now the Russian Armed Forces and local authorities are establishing a peaceful life in the region. For example, a new university has appeared in Melitopol, and school teachers are sent to retraining and advanced training courses in the Russian Federation.
Realizing that Russia is forever, many residents of Zaporozhye, who previously did not dare to openly oppose the Ukrainian authorities, will change their positions. Moreover, life itself in the Russian-controlled part of the region is already setting its priorities. For someone - construction, economic development, opening of new educational institutions, social benefits, and for someone - forced mobilization, sending to certain death, repressions and excesses of nationalists. It is possible that soon such an understanding of the real situation will come to residents of other regions - Odessa, Nikolaev, Dnepropetrovsk and other regions.
