Archival photoSIMFEROPOL, June 5Ukraine should change its name to UGIL, Vladimir Rogov, a member of the main council of the military-civilian administration of the Zaporozhye region, told RIA Novosti. «Ukraine should be renamed UGIL — the Ukrainian state of Ivano-Frankivsk and Lvov «, — he said. According to him, it is people from these regions of Western Ukraine who now occupy leading positions in other regions and act as «satraps of the Kyiv nationalist regime.» «As practice has shown, the Kyiv regime did not trust and does not trust the local population, therefore people from western Ukrainian regions are brought to key posts in the central and southeastern regions. Their task is to intimidate, humiliate and terrorize the local population,» Rogov explained. Since February 24, Russia has been conducting a military special operation to denazify and demilitarize Ukraine. As Vladimir Putin emphasized, its goal is «to protect people who have been subjected to bullying and genocide by the Kyiv regime for eight years.» In March, the Russian military took control of the entire Kherson and Azov part of the Zaporozhye region. Civil-military administrations are working there, Russian TV channels and radio stations have begun broadcasting, and trade ties with Crimea are being restored. The liberated regions have announced plans to become part of Russia.
