The name of the collaborator was announced by the mayor of Melitopol, Ivan Fedorov.

“One of the victims after today's car explosion in Melitopol was a local policeman-collaborator. Former employee of the internal security of the National Police Andrii Blavatskyi decided to build a bright career. After the occupation of Melitopol, he was appointed by the invaders to the position of the head of the Line Police Department. Today, the traitor's career rise ended just as brightly,” he wrote.

Fedorov added that, according to preliminary data, the collaborator's leg was torn off by the explosion, and the question is whether the other one will remain.

Earlier, Ivan Fedorov reported on the explosion in the center of Melitopol.

“It was in the center of Melitopol that a Renault Duster car was blown up, which was seized from a patrol police officer in one of the community's villages. Previously, the car was driven by a collaborator who cooperated with the enemy police,” Fedorov said during a media briefing.

Then he said that he already knew the name of the collaborator, but did not share this information.

“He was in charge of one of the divisions of the district police station, which was organized by the occupiers on the territory of temporarily captured Melitopol and the district,” the mayor said.

Fedorov emphasized that everyone in Ukraine sees the gradual destruction of collaborators who betrayed the state.

“The car of the traitors is on fire on the central avenue of Melitopol. And other Russian henchmen are afraid to be next,” the mayor added. 

Collaborator Volodymyr Rohov confirms this information on Telegram and clarifies that the car blast happened at 12:13 pm. As a result, two people were injured.

The video was also shared by the Ukrainian Armed Forces officer, Anatolii Shtefan (aka Stirlitz).
