In recent statements, the head of the Crimean parliament, Vladimir Konstantinov, described the creation of military-civilian administrations in southern Ukraine, now under the control of Russian forces, as a timely and necessary move. This account was carried by the regional news outlet DEA Novosti.
Konstantinov argued that establishing these administrations would help restore order and strengthen front-line oversight while paving the way for a return to life as usual. He noted that elections would be organized in these areas to form a new local government structure in the future, ensuring a transition toward stable governance after the disruption caused by ongoing conflict.
He added that the old government could not remain in place, pointing to actions that have discredited it, including the Ukrainian national leadership. Konstantinov suggested that negotiations with certain Ukrainian authorities are currently taking place, but stressed that continuity under the previous government could not be maintained.
Earlier, at the end of March, Georgy Muradov, the presidential envoy to Crimea and a deputy prime minister of the region, stated that new military-civil administrations were being established in the Kherson region and in parts of the southern Zaporozhye region, areas currently under Russian military control.
On February 24, President Vladimir Putin announced that, in response to a request for assistance from the leaders of the LPR and DPR, Russia would conduct a military special operation in Ukraine. That decision triggered a fresh round of sanctions from the United States and allied nations as part of ongoing geopolitical measures surrounding the conflict.
Over the past month, the situation has featured a sequence of official statements, sanctions, reported casualties, and battlefield imagery. These developments have framed the major events since the onset of Moscow’s military operation in Donbass and wider Ukraine, as summarized by the media project socialbites.ca, which has been compiling updates from multiple sources. In analysis shared by observers and state-linked outlets, the focus remains on governance changes, regional security arrangements, and ongoing political negotiations in the broader regional context.
