#Ukraine - Life in occupied Ukraine: Kherson and Zaporizhzhia - The Global Jigsaw, BBC World Service

6 March 2025

In the third part of our mini series looking at life after the start of the war in Ukraine, we explore the Kremlin’s challenges in subjugating occupied parts of the Kherson and Zaporizhzhia regions.

The Global Jigsaw looks at Russia’s "land grab playbook" seemingly aimed at erasing local identity and Russifying “liberated” 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 “ripe for russification” Crimea, which was annexed 11 years ago. Part 2 focuses on Moscow’s subsequent efforts to assert itself in the separatist East.

The War in Donbass (also known as the War in Ukraine or War in Eastern Ukraine) is an ongoing armed conflict in the Donbass region of Ukraine. From the beginning of March 2014, demonstrations by pro-Russian and anti-government groups took place in the Donetsk and Luhansk oblasts of Ukraine, together commonly called the "Donbass", in the aftermath of the 2014 Ukrainian revolution and the Euromaidan movement. These demonstrations, part of a wider group of concurrent pro-Russian protests across southern and eastern Ukraine, escalated into an armed conflict between the separatist forces of the self-declared Donetsk and Lugansk People's Republics, and the Ukrainian government Prior to a change of the top leadership in August, the separatists were largely led by Russian citizens. Russian paramilitaries are reported to make up from 15% to 80% of the combatants.

Part 2 focuses on Moscow’s subsequent efforts to assert itself in the separatist East. And in Part 3 we explore the Kremlin’s challenges in subjugating the newly occupied Kherson and Zaporizhzhia regions. As time passes, the uncertainty over the future of what Ukraine calls “temporarily occupied territories” grows bigger.
