In Melitopol, there are more Russian soldiers than local residents - city's mayor Fedorov

Ivan Fedorov wrote about this on Telegram.

"Every day more and more Russian soldiers from different hinterlands of unwashed Russia "travel" to the occupied territories of Ukraine. In Melitopol, lots of foreign "tourists", Russian, Buryat, Ossetian and Kadyrov’s soldiers, have exceeded the number of local residents who are forced to remain in occupation. “Foreigners” want to seem like their own so much that they even use Ukrainian symbols," Fedorov writes.

It is known about the cases when the Russian forces put the Ukrainian flag on KamAZ trucks, went north from Melitopol towards Vasylivka and switched from trucks to cars with Ukrainian license plates.

Russian forces are also settling next to civilians in the homes of people who left the city, dressing in ordinary clothes and eavesdropping on conversations in the streets, as well as transporting military personnel in school buses with the inscription "children."

"All residents are waiting for the return of the Ukrainian flag. So, the Russian forces provoke people's emotions to identify and punish the patriots of Ukraine, the Ukrainian Armed Forces and resistance forces are tracking every step of the Russian army. So, Russian forces disguise themselves even as children. One thing the Russian soldiers will not understand: uninvited "guests" will never become their own on Ukrainian land. So, if the "tourists" do not take a return ticket to Russia themselves, our military will be happy to help them," Fedorov wrote.
