The Russian Federation will create a new federal district, where all the occupied territories of Ukraine will be included
I think it will be Donetsk, Lugansk, Zaporizhia, Kherson region and Crimea," - said the head of the occupation administration of Zaporizhzhya region, Yevgeny Balytsky at the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum (PMF). Balytsky claims that the district, which is said, may be called "Novorossiysk". It is reported that in the Russian Federation this issue is resolved at the federal level.
During the full -scale war, the Russian army occupied parts of Donetsk, Lugansk, Kherson and Zaporizhzhya regions. In these territories in the fall of 2022 the so -called referendums were held: the question of entry into the Russian Federation was raised. The international community did not recognize the results of such pseudo -elections. In 2015, the criminal proceedings on theft and appropriation of UAH 37 million were initiated against Yevgeny Balytsky.
It is established that the Balytsky family in 2008 took a loan from Ukreximbank. As the pledge was the property of the Melitopol plant of the bearings. Then almost immediately began the bankruptcy procedure of the plant. In 2017, Balytsky, who at that time was a deputy of the Ukrainian Parliament, initiated criminal proceedings for separatist statements. The People's Deputy promised to "leave Ukraine with his district.
" After the capture of part of the Zaporozhye region in 2022, Balytsky began to cooperate with the Russian Federation. He was appointed head of the occupation administration. In 2023, the Court of Ukraine in absentia sentenced Balytsky in the form of 15 years of imprisonment for the organization of "referendums" and the change of borders of Ukraine.
