The moscow regime continues to illegally integrate the population of the temporarily occupied territories of Ukraine into its cultural and educational space.

A verbal dispute between Kadyrovites and Dagestanis in the village of Mykhailivka (Zaporizhzhia oblast) broke out, while russian propagandists were filming a video with a high-ranking Kadyrovite commander.
