Details: More specifically, invaders in Energodar have taken away local residents’ documents, and promise to give them back on 9 May - in the hope that a large number of Ukrainians will gather in one place and create the necessary picture for Russian TV channels. Invaders have also blocked traffic in parts of Energodar and exits from the courtyards of residential areas. The Russians do not call their parade in the city a "parade," but an action called "The Immortal Regiment."

The aggressors are forcing local residents of Kamianka-Dniprovska (a town in the Zaporizhzhia region) to come to work on Monday and to take part in a parade.

Background: Two weeks ago it was reported that Russian invaders had demanded that local community halls hold concerts on Victory Day in the Berdiansk district of the Zaporizhzhia region.
