Melitopol Mayor Ivan Fedorov in an interview with Radio NV explained why Russian occupation troops quickly captured Melitopol. “The rapid admiration of Melitopol happened because the enemy troops went quickly and came from the Crimea. We clearly understand this and hearing this from every citizen of our country. It is not the territory of Zaporizhzhya region, but Kherson, so responsibility is mostly at the special services that controlled directly Kherson region, ”Fedorov Radio NV said.

He added a video of the day that all the special services that worked in Melitopol were executed and continue to execute it. “Today to comment on who, when and how I left [the city], I am not authorized because we live during the war and it can be used against us, our country as a whole. But I am sure that all the dots above "and" will be arranged. And today the relevant power structures are engaged in this, ”Melitopol may have said.
