The mayor of Melitopol, Ivan Fedorov, informed this.

It is noted that in the temporarily occupied Melitopol, Russians check every car leaving the city to catch deserters.

In addition, according to Fedorov, conflicts break out between the Russian occupiers.

"In Tokmak, the 'military police' beat up an Ossetian and a Kabardian 'participants of the special military operation’ with the slogans 'Russia for Russians'," wrote the mayor of Melitopol.

Meanwhile, in Melitopol district, the Russian FSB searches houses where Russian soldiers used to live.

"To support his cannon fodder, Putin has even given the 58th Army, which is killing Ukrainians in the Zaporizhzhia direction, the title 'Guard'. However, this will definitely not help the Russians win. They will run away with an honorary title," added Fedorov.

  • On September 19, Stratcom public organization released a video of the Ukrainian Armed Forces hitting the headquarters of Russian troops near the temporarily occupied Melitopol.

  • As a result, two Russian commanders were wounded and 10 more invaders were killed.
