Russia Tightens Occupation of Ukraine: Camps Closed, Curriculum Rewritten, Elections Planned

ISW reports a broad intensification of Russia's occupation in Ukraine: Crimea closes most children’s summer camps through Sept 1, risking transfers to camps deeper in Russia for re-education; Moscow advances control over education with unified history textbooks and pro-Russian curricula, aided by ROC clergy in schools to militarize youth. Youth programs such as drone leagues and Young Paratrooper camps are expanding to prep for possible military service. Russia plans State Duma elections in occupied Ukraine on Sept 20 using the GAS system, undermining legitimacy; Gosuslugi is rolled out in occupied zones, tying services to Russian documentation. Fuel and power shortages persist in Crimea; Donetsk plans a Safe Region surveillance system; Promsvyazbank expands in occupied areas to deepen financial dependency; port checkpoints at Berdyansk and Mariupol are to be formalized for Russian export control. Overall, these steps aim to cement control and likely drive long-term demographic and political shifts in the occupied territories.

Israel’s Lebanon ground push fuels fears of a protracted occupation

Israel’s Lebanon ground push fuels fears of a protracted occupation

Israel expanded its ground operations into southern Lebanon, triggering fears of a protracted occupation as hundreds of thousands are displaced. Defence minister Katz’s remarks linking refugee return to Israeli security echo Gaza-style rhetoric, while the 2024 ceasefire is cited as having left Hezbollah in the fight and the Lebanese military to take over. Human Rights Watch warns that preventing civilians from returning could amount to a war crime, and international leaders urge against a large-scale ground offensive as the conflict reshapes regional leverage and negotiations.

Donbas under Moscow’s grip: a militarized, profit-laden occupation

Russia’s occupation of Donbas is expanding into a militarized economy built on corruption and illicit markets: a reported scheme where a widow profits from a soldier’s death, a thriving black market for drugs and stolen arms flourishes among troops, and Moscow-backed “sponsor” regions fund reconstruction while resources dwindle and water systems fail. Analysts say the aim is to convert Donbas into a vast military base to frighten Europe, with officials tightening control and corruption widening as the region’s economy is militarised.
