In the temporarily occupied town of Mykhailivka, the Rashists are selectively “evacuating” the population. This was reported by the Center of National Resistance under the Special Operations Forces of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
According to available information, armed soldiers of the Russian Federation are taking away those suspected of cooperation with Ukraine. It is known that people are being transported to the neighboring village of Tymoshivka. It is likely that the lists of Ukrainians objectionable to Russia help the invaders to compile local traitors.
The Russian occupiers bring newly mobilized people to the Melitopol torture camp in order to train them to beat civilians. Melitopol Chairman Ivan Fedorov reported this.
Fedorov said that he communicated with residents of Melitopol, who were recently released from captivity. According to him, the torture of the local population is intensifying, some residents have been in torture chambers for eight months.
“The racists began to bring so-called mobs to the torture chamber so that they could train on captured residents to beat the civilian population. Interrogations became regular. There are examples when women were kept standing in a sea container for nine days,” Fedorov said.
He added that propagandists in the occupied territories are changing their rhetoric. They claim that Melitopol is now a new strategic and logistics center that no one will surrender.
“The Melitopol district is now a solid military base, there are not one or two units, but each village has a unit,” Fedorov said.
After the attack on Ukraine, the Russian occupying forces captured part of the territory of the Zaporizhzhia region. On February 26, after battles with the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the occupiers entered the 150,000-strong Melitopol.
The occupiers failed to take the regional center (Zaporizhzhia). Therefore, they decided to make Melitopol the “capital” of the temporarily occupied Zaporizhzhia region and held a pseudo-referendum there on the “accession” of the region to the Russian Federation.
Last week, the Russian occupiers again shelled the territory of the Zaporizhzhia NPP. At the same time, propaganda, as usual, blamed the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Russian Telegram channels actively posted a video of the “fire at the ZNPP by the Armed Forces.” However, it is clear that it could fly only from the side of a temporarily occupied city or village.
The occupiers damaged the radioactive waste building at the ZNPP during the shelling of the station on November 20. The radiation level remains normal.
This is stated in the report of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA).
The agency called the past shelling the most intense in recent months. IAEA experts stationed at the station heard dozens of explosions in less than 40 minutes.
The occupants damaged the radioactive waste and storage building, the cooling pond sprinkler systems, the electrical cable to one of the reactors, the condensate storage tanks and the bridges between the other reactor and the building with its support equipment. “Again, we are fortunate that a potentially serious nuclear incident did not occur. We might not be so lucky next time. We must do everything in our power to prevent the next time,” commented IAEA Director General Rafael Grossi.
In the area of the Russian-occupied Zaporizhzhia NPP, powerful explosions rumbled on Saturday evening and Sunday morning. The IAEA experts, who are at the site, reported that the explosions were heard both near and directly on the territory of the ZNPP, the largest nuclear power plant in Europe. According to them, on the morning of November 20, more than a dozen explosions were heard in a short period of time.
IAEA Director General Raphael Grossi said that the strikes on the Zaporizhzhia NPP were “absolutely deliberate and targeted.” Grossi emphasized that it is about strikes directly on the territory of the nuclear plant, which has not been observed since the summer.
“There are those who consider the nuclear plant a legitimate military target, it’s unbelievable… Whoever it is, stop this madness. The people who are doing this know where they’re hitting,” Grossi said.
At the same time, he did not make statements about who exactly struck the ZNPP.
“The station is right on the front line, there are military operations that are difficult to identify,” said the head of the IAEA. He called the situation at the ZNPP “extremely serious”. According to him, strikes were registered, including “on the area where fresh and spent fuel is stored.” At the moment, there are IAEA specialists at the Zaporizhzhia NPP, who, according to Grossi, could not leave because the situation was too dangerous. “We expect to be able to sum up the results on Monday early in the morning,” the IAEA director general added.
Energoatom stated that it was Russian shelling aimed at preventing the start-up of two power units. The Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation blames the shelling on the armed forces of Ukraine.
More than 5 million Ukrainians lost their jobs due to the full-scale Russian aggression.
In Melitopol, the Russians turned a children’s sanatorium into a military hospital.
The occupiers turned the city children’s sanatorium into a military hospital. Now it is being expanded. All technical premises are being converted into wards for wounded soldiers. In addition, more than 100 “ambulance” vehicles were driven from Crimea to Melitopol. The cars are new and equipped with everything necessary.
Apparently, there are really many wounded among the occupiers.
The Russian military is building a system of defensive structures in the temporarily occupied Melitopol. They set up a defensive line from three parts of the city — from Kherson, Vasylivka, and Berdyansk.
The occupiers take slabs for the construction of defensive structures, destroying reclamation systems and irrigation canals. The Russians are obviously afraid of the offensive of the Armed Forces.
Meanwhile, our defenders continue to inflict losses on the enemy. The other day, as a result of the actions of the Defense Forces, a railway bridge was damaged in the area of Chernihivka, Zaporizhzhia region. This makes it impossible to use the building in the interests of the Russian occupiers.
