Russia may be in Ukraine to stay after 100 days of war

Associated Press  

When Vladimir Putin sent troops into Ukraine in late February, the Russian president vowed his forces would not occupy the country. To Russia, “it’s a pity to give away what has been occupied, even if it was not part of the original plan.” Russian forces captured much of Kherson and neighboring Zaporizhzhia early in the war, gaining control over most of Ukraine’s Sea of Azov coast and securing a partial land corridor to the Crimean Peninsula, which Russia annexed from Ukraine in 2014. “Those who actively express their position are kidnapped and tortured, threatened and forced out of the region.” Russian forces keep people in an “information vacuum,” with Ukrainian websites no longer available, Kobernyk said. Deputy Prime Minister Marat Khusnullin visited Kherson and Zaporizhzhia in mid-May and indicated they could become part of “our Russian family.” A senior official in the Kremlin’s ruling United Russia party, Andrei Turchak, put it even more bluntly in a meeting with residents of Kherson: “Russia is here forever.” Members of the pro-Kremlin administrations in both regions soon announced that the areas would seek to be incorporated into Russia. Senior Russian lawmaker Leonid Slutsky, a member of the Russian delegation in stalled peace talks with Ukraine, said that referendums on joining Russia could take place in the Donbas, Kherson and Zaporizhzhia regions as early as July.
