At the moment , there is no information about the whereabouts of Ivan Fedorov, the kidnapped mayor of Melitopol. Oleksandr Starukh, head of the Zaporizhia military administration, stated this on air of the telethon.
I think today the whole country saw how Melitopol residents gathered near the so-called headquarters of terrorists and demanded the return of the legally elected head of the city. Unfortunately, we do not know where he is, but we are looking for him with all our strength and means,” said Starukh.
The head of the Zaporozhye Regional State Administration also spoke about the situation in the region.
According to him, Zaporozhye is fighting and accepting evacuated residents of Orekhov, Gulyaipol and other villages that are on the front line.
The situation remains difficult in the town of Pologi, surrounded by the invaders . The old woman said that there has been no electricity there for a day, people are in very difficult conditions, and the occupiers do not allow a humanitarian convoy to be brought into the city and the civilian population to be evacuated.
The head of the Zaporizhzhya Regional State Administration also confirmed the information that in the Orekhovsky district the invaders ran over a car with a family with a tank , and assured that they would definitely be responsible for this.
It's such a distraction for them. They often back out and run over empty cars. In this case, there was a family in the car. I don't know what to comment. I think our guys will find these animals, – said Alexander Starukh.
