In the territories conquered by Moscow, life resumes, but on Russian time. Moscow’s goal is to take over all sectors, from the economy to education. Explanations.

The war in Ukraine continues, Wednesday, June 1, and this, particularly in the east of the country where the cities reconquered by the Russians are often destroyed. And when life resumes, it’s under the new rules of the Russians. This is particularly the case in Mariupol, where activity has resumed under Russian control. The separatist government of the Donetsk People’s Republic wants to requisition the ships there.

In the conquered territories, the Russian power settled permanently. In Kherson, also occupied, businesses are obliged to accept the Russian ruble. Mobile communication networks and the internet have also been transferred, forcing residents to sign new contracts with Russian operators. The strategy consists of seizing the economic and communication sectors, but also culture and education.
