Melitopol Mayor Ivan Fedorov said that the Ukrainian military was approaching the borders of Kherson. According to him, the Armed Forces of Ukraine have already advanced more than 10 kilometers from the Zaporizhzhia direction to Melitopol.

“I want to state a few facts in order to support and restore faith in those people who are in the occupied territories. Today, our heroic Armed Forces have made significant progress and are on the borders of Kherson. I am sure that in the coming weeks, the city of Kherson will be liberated by our heroic military. The situation is the same in the direction of Melitopol. Our Armed Forces have already advanced more than 10 kilometers from Zaporizhzhia towards Melitopol,” – Fedorov said in a video message published on Sunday, June 19.

He also expressed hope that Western weapons would help Ukraine de-occupy russian-occupied territories.

In addition, the mayor of Melitopol said that russians continue to kidnap people, including pastors and activists, not realizing that “99.9% of people do not support them.”

It will be recalled that Melitopol has been under russian occupation since the first days of the full-scale russian invasion, but locals are resisting the occupiers.
