Russian invaders continue to rob the population in the temporarily occupied territory of Zaporizhzhya Region. In particular, from the beginning of February 2023, Russian mercenaries began to actively take cars from residents who did not receive Russian passports.
Representatives of the so-called occupation authorities exert pressure on the local population to appropriate land plots. The majority of residents of the Boyove settlement of Kherson Region refused to hand over their private plots to the balance of the local occupation administration. As of 1 March of this year, about 200 people from this village were taken to an unknown destination for the so-called filtration measures, and Russian mercenaries have been accommodated in their houses.

Also, our defenders shot down an enemy Su-25 aircraft, a Mi-24 helicopter and 7 unmanned aerial vehicles (1 - Supercam, 2 - Orlan, and 4 - Lancet).
