Russian occupation of Zaporizhzhia Oblast

The ongoing military occupation of Ukraine's Zaporizhzhia Oblast began after Russian forces launched an invasion of mainland Ukraine out of Crimea on 24 February 2022. Russian-controlled parts of the oblast were administered by a Russian military-civilian administration until 30 September 2022, when Russia declared their annexation (widely regarded as illegal and unrecognized internationally) to become a federal subject of Russia.
