Tanks arrived in Melitopol under the flag of unrecognized South Ossetia - Zaporizhzhya Regional Military Administration

This was stated by the Zaporizhzhya RMA.

It is also reported that invaders promised to pay pensioners in Melitopol 10,000 rubles.

"Reinforcements of the occupying troops of the Russian Federation arrived in Melitopol. Tanks with the flag of unrecognized South Ossetia drive along the central avenue. The invaders promise to pay 10 thousand rubles to the city's pensioners. However, as it turned out, the upcoming payments are another way to achieve their goals. Invaders plan to use these data and signatures for holding a pseudo-referendum", the Zaporizhzhya Regional Military Administration reported.

According to open data, the number of "AF of South Ossetia" is 1,250 people.

South Ossetia is a sovereign part of Georgia occupied by the Russian Federation.
