"Continues self -liquidation": occupiers shoot their and prisoners - Fedorov
According to him, not all Russian soldiers want to continue fighting against the Armed Forces. "Many of them want to put weapons and get out of the Zaporizhzhya Front line," the message reads. As the mayor of Melitopol told the local in the occupied part of Zaporozhye, near the front line, Ukrainian civilians often see the shot of Russian military. "They have begun and continues self -liquidation. And it also adds optimism to us and our heroic military," Fedorov said.
According to him, the Russian army conducts intense cleaning within its army in the Zaporozhye direction, as it has problems with the motivation of fighters to fight. On October 30, volunteer and activist Serhiy Sternenko reported that in the Tokmak direction the Russian military shot a group of Ukrainian prisoners of war fighters of the National Guard of Ukraine. According to Fedorov, from open sources he knows that it happened.
The mayor emphasized that the enemy now uses all possible methods to restrain the armed forces in the Zaporozhye direction. The invaders are afraid that if the defense fails, Ukrainian defenders will release Tokmak, Melitopol and other cities in the area. "We understand that the enemy is in a pre -aggressive state. Yes, it could happen - the execution of our prisoners of war. At the same time, the occupiers do not withstand the pressure that the Armed Forces is doing," Fedorov stated.
