Russian forces try to restore airfield in Melitopol with help of local concrete plant  - Ukrainian intelligence

The Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ukrainian Defense Ministry shared the report.

However, as Ukrainian intelligence officers assure, a full-fledged repair and start of operation of the runway in the near future is unlikely.

"After all, technologically, such works require 21-28 days for the concrete to gain the necessary strength and be able to withstand the load of aircraft and other equipment without losing its properties. The occupiers plan to use the capacities of the concrete plant to strengthen the defense lines by creating long-term firing points on a reinforced concrete base," the message says.

Also, in the temporarily occupied Melitopol near the elevator, the presence of an enemy freight train was established.

"In its composition are 8 covered cargo wagons with the inscription 'agro-frigate'. The wagons are loaded with grain crops. In the future, they are planned to be illegally exported to the territory of the Russian Federation," the carriers add.

Also, the building where the structural unit of the State Security Service was located in Melitopol is used to house detained Ukrainian citizens. "There is evidence that torture is used on the detainees," the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications emphasized.
