"In the village of Myrne near Melitopol, the locals recorded the presence of the Belarusian military. This is a full-fledged unit with soldiers and officers. We see the settlement of the Russian military in large numbers in the villages of the Melitopol district and Melitopol. "Almost every day, we receive news from the villages that another contingent of 200-300 Russian soldiers has arrived at another village," Fedorov noted. 

According to him, the officers occupy vacant houses or evict people from village houses, and the mobilized are settled on the streets.

"In Melitopol, the Russians are evicting people to house their military there. A huge number of troops are now in the temporarily occupied Melitopol region. The Ukrainian resistance forces do not allow the  Russian forces to relax. In the village of Svitlodolinske, Melitopol district, explosions were heard at night from the side of the railway bridge," Fedorov added.
