Mayor: Guerrillas eliminate at least four invaders in Melitopol over past week

Ivan Fedorov, the mayor of Melitopol, said at a briefing at the Ukraine-Union Media Center.

"Over the past week, at least four Russian servicemen were found dead in different parts of Melitopol, their bodies cut up. This indicates that the resistance movement in the temporarily occupied territories is not decreasing, but is intensifying in anticipation of our Armed Forces," noted Fedorov.

He also emphasized that the enemy is suffering significant losses in the Zaporizhzhia direction, which is evidenced, in particular, by the need for a large amount of blood for transfusion. According to Fedorov, the invaders are trying to attract local residents to donate blood by spreading calls in Ukrainian to donate blood, allegedly for pregnant women and cancer patients. However, the amount of blood the invaders are trying to get shows that the blood is needed for their wounded.

Regarding the fate of local collaborators, the mayor of Melitopol said that the Russians are replacing the traitors with their own 'personnel'. Thus, the 'gauleiters' have been replaced in Kyrylivka, Pryazovsk, and for the third time in Vesele. Police officers who betrayed their oath and went to work for the Russians are being massively removed from their posts, their salaries are being cut, and they are being fired after passing a polygraph.

Traitors who no longer suit the 'new hosts' are treated differently, Fedorov noted. Some are allowed to continue doing their own business, while others are banned from leaving the occupied territory to 'wait' for the Ukrainian Armed Forces.

As reported, the occupiers are moving trucks, tractors and other military equipment from Melitopol to the temporarily occupied Crimea.
