In Zaporizhzhia region, the Russian military, in cooperation with local collaborators, began printing a newspaper. “The Zaporizhzhya Herald has already begun to be distributed to the region’s districts.

The newspaper is full of the appeal “we are one people” to “we do not abandon our own”, and on the front page is a huge portrait of Vladimir Putin. At the same time, the newspaper is designed to actively spread Russian propaganda lies, fakes, and disinformation.

The so-called “newspaper” is really just a collection of Rashites’ narratives and propaganda for the Russian world in Zaporizhia Oblast. Earlier, the Melitopol collaborator Balitsky announced “a referendum on the annexation of Zaporizhia region to Russia.

The headline “Gathering the Harvest: How Russia Helps Farmers” draws particular attention in the propaganda paper: as Aktsent reported earlier, Russian invaders on trains are transporting grain en masse from Zaporizhia Region to Crimea, as well as stealing new crops. According to the mayor of Melitopol Ivan Fedorov, the invaders are forming a fleet of trucks, are preparing to use the port of Berdyansk and are going to export grain by ships and barges.

Also, as Aktsent reported earlier, the Russian occupiers in Melitopol announced their intention to take “surplus” land from farmers. They said that according to their law, a garden cannot be larger than 4 hectares, while Ukrainians own plots of 6-10 hectares.
