“There can be only one future for the Zaporozhye region – it should be part of Russia, should become a full-fledged subject of the Russian Federation.

We don't need gray zones, we don't need the Zaporozhye People's Republic.

We want to be part of Russia, as we have always been for hundreds of years, ”RIA Novosti quotes him as saying.

Rogov noted that more and more residents of the region are in favor of integration with Russia.

A bi-currency zone has been introduced on the liberated territory of the Zaporozhye region.

The head of Crimea, Sergei Aksyonov, said earlier that the liberated regions in southern Ukraine should be economically integrated with the regions of Russia as soon as possible.
