Russian occupation of Zaporizhzhia Oblast
Part of theRusso-Ukrainian war (2022–present)

DateFebruary 2022 – present
Location
Zaporizhzhia Oblast,Ukraine

The ongoingmilitary occupation of Ukraine'sZaporizhzhia Oblast (Ukrainian:Запорізька область,romanized: Zaporiz'ka oblast') began after Russian forces launchedan invasion of mainland Ukraine out ofCrimea on 24 February 2022. Russian-controlled parts of the oblast were administered by a Russian military-civilian administration until 30 September 2022, when they were illegally annexed to become an internationally unrecognizedfederal subject of Russia.

On 25 February, the city ofMelitopolfell underRussian control, followed byBerdiansk the next day. Russian forces besieged the city ofEnerhodar, home of theZaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant, thencaptured it on 4 March. The oblast's capital city ofZaporizhzhia, however, remains under Ukrainian government control.

In May, the Russian government began offering Russian passports to the region's inhabitants.[1] In July, it issued a decree that extendedRussian 2022 war censorship laws to the oblast, and included deportation to Russia as a penalty.[2] In September, occupation forces heldlargely disputed referendums in the occupied areas of Zaporizhzhia andKherson Oblast tojoin the Russian Federation.[3][4] On 27 September, Russian officials claimed that Zaporizhzhia Oblast's referendum passed with 93.11% of voters in favour of joining the Russian Federation.[5][6] Russia signed an accession treaty with the Russian administration of the region on 30 September 2022.[7] Russia annexed Zaporizhzhia Oblast on 30 September 2022, including parts of the oblast that it did not control at the time.[7] TheUnited Nations General Assembly demanded that Russia "immediately, completely and unconditionally" withdraw, and passeda resolution calling on countries not to recognise what it described as an "attempted illegal annexation".[8]

Melitopol serves as the Russian seat of administration as Russia does not control Zaporizhzhia. In March 2023, Melitopol became the official capital of the Russian-occupied Zaporizhzhia Oblast after the acting head,Yevgeny Balitsky, signed a decree on moving thede jure capital to Melitopol until Zaporizhzhia is captured.[9]

History

Initial military occupation (March 2022)

Main article:Southern front of the Russian invasion of Ukraine

Shortly afterRussian forces captured Melitopol, residents of the city held astreet protest againstmilitary occupation. The protestors marched and used their bodies to block a convoy of Russian military vehicles.[10][11]

On 4 March 2022, the former leader of theAnti-Maidan of Zaporizhzhia,Vladimir Rogov, who calls himself "a member of the Main Council of the Zaporizhzhia Oblast Military-Civilian administration of the Zaporozhye", posted part of the program of "comprehensive financial and economic measures for the economic development of the regions of Ukraine controlled by the Russian Federation" on hisTelegram channel. This program was written in its entirety in the newspapers published by the occupying authorities, as well as on 9 March in the public "Military-Civilian Administration of Melitopol". According to the BBC, the program was written in a complex bureaucratic style like that of other similar documents by Russian authorities.[12]

On 10 March, the director of theMelitopol Museum of Local History, Leila Ibragimova, was arrested at her home by Russian forces, and was detained in an unknown location.[13] The next day,Melitopol's mayor,Ivan Fedorov, was abducted by Russian troops for refusing to cooperate with them and continuing to fly a Ukrainian flag in his office.[14] Russian authorities did not comment on Fedorov's disappearance, but the prosecutor's office of theLuhansk People's Republic (a Russian-backed self-proclaimedbreakaway state within Ukraine) accused him of "terrorist activities".[15] The mayor ofDniprorudne, Yevhen Matvieyev, was detained by Russian soldiers on 13 March.[16] Matvieyev had participated in a 27 February protest preventing Russian tanks from entering the town.[17]

Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant crisis

On 4 March 2022, the city ofEnerhodar and theZaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant (ZNPP) came under Russian military occupation.[18] Since then, the ZNPP has been the center ofan ongoing nuclear safety crisis.[19] Russia has used the plant as a base to hold military equipment and troops, heightening risk of damage to the plant and a fuel meltdown.[20]

On 6 March 2022, theIAEA released a statement saying that Russian forces were interfering in the operations of the power plant, and "any action of plant management—including measures related to the technical operation of the six reactor units—requires prior approval by the Russian commander," further stating that "Russian forces at the site have switched off some mobile networks and the internet so that reliable information from the site cannot be obtained through the normal channels of communication".[21] On 9 March, Herman Galushchenko, Energy Minister of Ukraine, claimed that Russian forces were holding the workers at the power plant hostage and had forced several to make propaganda videos.[22]

Military–civilian administration (March–June 2022)

Ivan Fedorov, Ukrainian-recognised Mayor of Melitopol
Yevgeny Balitsky, Russian-installed mayor of Melitopol in 2022

The Russians proclaimedHalyna Danylchenko acting mayor ofMelitopol on 12 March,[23][24] but Ukrainian sources said thatYevgeny Balitsky had become the unofficialde facto head of the city.[25][26][27] Meanwhile, hundreds of people joined a protest outside Melitopol city hall to demand the release of Fedorov.[15] Olga Gaysumova, head of thenon-governmental organization "Conscientious Society of Melitopol" and the organizer of local protests against Russian forces, was arrested.[28] On 13 March, the Melitopol City Council declared that "occupying troops of the Russian Federation are trying to illegally create an occupation administration of the city of Melitopol."[29] It appealed toProsecutor General of UkraineIryna Venediktova, to launch an investigation into Danylchenko and her party Opposition Bloc for treason.[29]Ukrayinska Pravda reported that the Russian military abducted Melitopol's District Council Chairman Serhiy Priyma and tried to abduct City Council Secretary Roman Romanov.[30] Russian military vehicles were seen announcing via loudspeakers that rallies and demonstrations had been prohibited and that a curfew imposed from 6:00 pm to 6:00 am.[31] On 14 MarchUkrayinska Pravda reported that Russian forces had prevented new protests by blocking off the central square of Melitopol.[32] It also said "Two activists were abducted and taken away in an unknown direction."[32]

On 16 March, Fedorov was freed from captivity. Some Ukrainian officials said he was freed in a "special operation".[33][34][35] Zelenskyy's press aideDaria Zarivna however later said he was exchanged for nine Russian conscripts captured by Ukrainian forces.[36]

On 22 April 2022, Fedorov said that over 100 Russian soldiers had been killed by locals during the occupation of Melitopol.[37]On 24 August 2022, the Russian-appointed head of Mykhailivka, Ivan Sushko, was assassinated in a car bombing.[38]

On 18 May 2022,Deputy Prime Minister of the Russian FederationMarat Khusnullin said during a visit to the region that "the region's prospect is to work in our friendly Russian family," and announced the imminent implementation of plans to launch the maximum turnover of the ruble. According to him, pensions and salaries would be paid to residents of the Zaporizhzhia Oblast in Russian currency within a calendar month.[39] On 23 March 2022, Mayor Fedorov reported that Melitopol was experiencing supply problems with food, medication and fuel, while the Russian military seized businesses, intimidated the local population, and held several journalists.[40]

On 25 May, Vladimir Rogov announced that after the complete capture of the region, it would be annexed by Russia. He also said that a dual-currency zone was introduced in the occupied territory and the coat of arms ofAleksandrovsk from the times of theRussian Empire were installed, with which they began to issue new license plates with the signature "TVR" (a reference to theTaurida Governorate; old numbers are used, but with a "TVR" sticker over theUkrainian flag).[41][42] Later a report revealed that Balitsky still sometimes used the Ukrainian coat of arms of Zaporizhzhia Oblast on documentation.[43] The same day, Russian PresidentVladimir Putin issued a decree to simplify provision ofRussian passports to residents of Zaporizhzhia Oblast, under the same procedure as the population of Donetsk and Luhansk Oblasts.[44]

Annexation into Russia (July 2022–present)

On 28 July,Meduza reported that temporary departments of theMinistry of Internal Affairs of the Russian Federation had been set up in the Kherson and Zaporizhzhia oblasts.[45]

On 8 August, Balitsky announced that areferendum on "reunification" with Russia in the region, and signed the order of the Central Election Commission.[46] The commission, according to the statement, began to form as early as 23 July.[47] On 8 September 2022, it was announced that referendums would be held in all the occupied territories of Ukraine from 23 to 27 September, the purpose of which was the annexation of these territories.[48] According to the military–civilian administration, 93.11% of voters in the referendum voted for the region to become part of Russia.[49] Balitsky said that "Zaporizhzhia Oblast de facto separated from Ukraine".[50] On 28 September, the Zaporizhzhia military–civilian administration announced the secession of the region from Ukraine.[51] Russia did not control the entire oblast at the time of the referendum, and it was widely dismissed as a sham referendum by international observers. It was also condemned as illegal in international law by theUnited Nations.[52] On 29 September, Vladimir Putin recognized the Kherson and Zaporizhzhia regions asindependent countries, hours before signing a decree on the annexation of all four regions.[53][54]

In September 2022, the administration founded thePavel Sudoplatov Battalion, a pro-Russian volunteer militia.[55]

In spring and summer 2023, Russian forces heavily fortified areas near major cities in Zaporizhzhia Oblast in anticipation of the2023 Ukrainian counteroffensive.[56] On 8–10 September 2023, the2023 Russian elections took place in theoccupied Ukrainian territories,[57] which Melitopol mayorIvan Fedorov described as "hellish pseudo-elections". During this period, on 9 September, Fedorov reported that the headquarters ofUnited Russia – the Russian ruling party – in the small city ofPolohy was blown up.[58] Fedorov alluded to casualties among the occupation authorities, stating on Telegram that "Some went to the hospital, and some went straight to the morgue".[58]

In a 2024 interview, occupation headYevgeny Balitsky said that Russian occupation authorities had "expelled a large number of families...who did not support the ‘special military operation’". He claimed that the deportation of families was good for them, because otherwise occupation authorities would have to "deal" with them in a "harsher" manner in the future. Balitsky said that authorities had to make "extremely harsh decisions that he will not be talking about", possibly alluding to Russian occupation forcessummarily executing Ukrainian civilians, according toISW.[59]

Administrative divisions

The administrative divisions of the Military-Civilian administration until September 2022.

In August 2022, the Zaporizhzhia Military–Civilian Administration divided the oblast into five districts:[60] On 3 March 2023, the regional government approved a law on administrative divisions, subdividing thede facto controlled areas into 3cities of oblast significance and 13districts.[61][62]

The cities areMelitopol,Berdiansk, andEnergodar. The districts areAkymovka,Berdiansk,Vasylievka,Veseloye,Kamenka-Dneprovskaya,Kuibyshevo,Melitopol,Mykhailovka,Pology,Pryazovskoye,Prymorsk,Tokmak, andChernigovka.[62]

War crimes

An October 2025 UN report confirmed Russian forces deported civilians from the occupied Zaporizhzhia Oblast to territory still under control of the Ukrainian government. Ukrainians on Russian-occupied territories were arrested, detained, tortured, their documents confiscated, under the accusation of sabotage, that they were pro-Ukrainian or refused to take a Russian passport. They were made to walk between 10–15 kilometers from the occupied territory through a dangerous area with landmines and trenches, while hearing sounds of shots and shelling. Some were deported as far as Georgia, and banned to return to Russia and Russian-occupied territory for 20 to 40 years. The UN report thus found Russia guilty ofdeportation,forced displacement, torture and inhuman treatment.[63][64]
