Invading Russian forces try to establish "border" in occupied Zaporizhzhia region - Oleksandr Starukh

Starukh said this on the air of the telethon.

The head of the Zaporizhzhia Regional State Administration noted that the so-called state border is similar to what the Russian forces arranged after the occupation of Crimea and ORDLO. The invading Russian forces also set "rules" for crossing the roadblock.

"The occupiers are trying to set up a "state border'' in the Vasylivka area, as they believe, with all the crossing rules they invented there. As a result, men of draft age are not allowed in," Starukh said.

The head of the Zaporizhzhia Regional State Administration noted that a week earlier, 1,000-2,000 people could reach the regional center during the day. Due to the blocking of exit by the Russian forces last day, only 8 people were able to cross the crossing point.  Starukh stressed that transit from the Russia-occupied territories has actually been stopped.
