Federal subject of Russia in the context of "Altai people"

The ongoing military occupation of Ukraine's Kherson Oblast (Russian: Херсонская область, romanized: Khersonskaya oblast) by Russian forces began on 24 February 2022, when Russian forces invaded Ukraine from Crimea. It was administrated under a Russian-controlled military-civilian administration until 30 September 2022, when the Russian government declared it had annexed the territory. Since then it administers it as an internationally unrecognized federal subject of Russia.

Russia captured the city of Kherson on 1 March 2022. Kherson was the only regional capital that Russia has managed to capture in the invasion, though the cities of Donetsk and Luhansk had been controlled by Russian-backed separatists since 2014. Most of the rest of Kherson Oblast fell to Russian forces in the early months of the invasion.

The ongoing military occupation of Ukraine's Zaporizhzhia Oblast (Ukrainian: Запорізька область, romanized: Zaporiz'ka oblast') began after Russian forces launched an invasion of mainland Ukraine out of Crimea on 24 February 2022. Russian-controlled parts of the oblast were administered by a Russian military-civilian administration until 30 September 2022, when they were illegally annexed to become an internationally unrecognized federal subject of Russia.

On 25 February, the city of Melitopol fell under Russian control, followed by Berdiansk the next day. Russian forces besieged the city of Enerhodar, home of the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Power Plant, then captured it on 4 March. The oblast's capital city of Zaporizhzhia, however, remains under Ukrainian government control.

The Taymyr Peninsula (/taɪˈmɪər/ ty-MEER) is a peninsula in the Far North of Russia, in the Siberian Federal District, that forms the northernmost part of the mainland of Eurasia. Administratively it is part of the Krasnoyarsk Krai Federal subject of Russia.

Sakha, officially the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia), is a republic of Russia, and the largest federal subject of Russia by area. It is located in the Russian Far East, along the Arctic Ocean, with a population of one million. Sakha comprises half of the area of its governing Far Eastern Federal District, and is the world's largest country subdivision, covering over 3,083,523 square kilometers (1,190,555 sq mi). Yakutsk, which is the world's coldest major city, is its capital and largest city.

The republic has a reputation for an extreme and severe climate, with the second lowest temperatures in the Northern Hemisphere being recorded in Verkhoyansk and Oymyakon (second only to Summit Camp, Greenland), and regular winter averages commonly dipping below −35 °C (−31 °F) in Yakutsk. The hypercontinental tendencies also result in warm summers for much of the republic.
