Zaporizhzhia, Ukraine

Ukraine

Zaporizhzhia, Ukraine carries 172 Bunkabop connections across 20 topics with 3072 other places, spanning government, military conflict, sports, and industrial history. The city shares its strongest ties with Ukraine broadly, Russia, and Kyiv, reflecting the weight of the 2022 Russian invasion: on 30 September 2022, hours before Russia formally annexed Southern and Eastern Ukraine, Russian forces launched S-300 missiles at a civilian convoy in Zaporizhzhia, killing at least 30 people. The city also connects to Zaporozhian Cossack history and to Ukraine's natural gas pipeline network, which reached the city in 1966.
