We Are Together with Russia (Russian: Мы вместе с Россией, romanized: My vmeste s Rossiyey, Ukrainian: Ми разом з Росією) is a pro-Russian collaborationist organization operating in the Russian-occupied Zaporizhzhia Oblast and supported by the Russian authorities.[2] It describes itself as an "integration movement".[3] The movement actively advocates the accession of the region to the Russian Federation, and according to the Ukrainian media it is actively involved in the preparation of "referendums" on the occupied Ukrainian territories becoming part of Russia. Its activities are being organized by the United Russia party and the All-Russia People's Front,[1][4] headed by Vladimir Putin.

"We are together with Russia" is actively cooperating with the authorities of the Russian regions, who have taken "patronage" over the Zaporizhzhia Oblast.[5][6] According to its own statement, the movement "delivers the necessary humanitarian aid, medicines to the Zaporizhzhia Oblast and sends experienced workers to restore normal life."[7]
