Melitopol mayor speaks out about the consequences of yesterday's "arrivals" in the city


In the temporarily occupied territories, "arrivals" are increasingly common.
On Saturday, 3 June, a group of occupants located on the territory of the Russian-occupied town of Melitopol, Zaporizhzhya Region, near the village of Obilnoye, was killed with a precision strike at an industrial enterprise in the region. The mayor of Melitopol, Ivan Fyodorov, told this during a telethon.
He noted that the invaders were producing mortars at the seized facility there. Explosions were heard there yesterday.
There were also explosions in Berdyansk near the territory of the seaport.
Unfortunately, civilians suffered from the enemy's air defence system. Yesterday the enemy started trying to activate their air defence system, but their missiles were falling on the dacha cooperatives near the village of Myrne, of course without reaching anywhere, because the air defence system is completely leaky. This week their air defence also killed one 24-year-old civilian," Fedorov said.
He added that the elimination of the occupants in the Zaporizhzhya direction continues. On the territory of temporarily occupied Melitopol, Berdyansk, Tokmak - almost every day. A protest movement is going strong in the region and people are waiting for the Ukrainian Armed Forces to arrive.
