Occupation

Occupation refers to the temporary seizure of Ukrainian territory by the armed forces of the Russian Federation, violating international law and the state’s sovereignty. In the Mykolaiv region, the city of Snihurivka was under occupation from March to November 2022, before being liberated by the Ukrainian Armed Forces during a successful de-occupation campaign. Currently, the Kinburn Spit remains under Russian occupation, posing ongoing threats to the region's security and the residents of nearby areas.
