Melitopol Mayor Ivan Fedorov said.

"There is no panic," but there is panic. The invaders in the Melitopol direction are preparing for a fierce autumn. It is already hot in Tokmak," he wrote on Telegram.

According to him, a few weeks ago, the invaders began to evacuate the "authorities," and a few days ago, Russian officers began to intensively evacuate their families. 

In addition, the Russian occupiers have moved on to educational institutions - they are moving out schools, colleges, and technical schools.

In addition, on the evening of October 3, the closure of the so-called administrative building, shops, and market was announced in Tokmak.

"Whatever we are preparing for, the enemy is definitely feeling bad," summarized the mayor of Melitopol.

  • On September 17, British intelligence reported that Russian troops were reinforcing the defense of the strategically important city of Tokmak in the Zaporizhzhia region.
  • The next day, Askad Ashurbekov, a deputy of the Zaporizhzhia Regional Council, noted that Tokmak was already within the range of the Ukrainian Armed Forces' cannon artillery. The occupiers began evacuating Russian special services there.
