The inhabitants of the villages of the Pologiv region have disappeared. 

All interested people are asked to help in the search. Yes, we are looking for Dolya Larisa Hryhorivna, an ambulance paramedic, born on April 22, 1970, who lived at the address: Tarasivka village, Pologivskyi district.

On January 11, 2023, Chechens came and took the woman from the house. They said that they were taking him to the commandant’s office in Tokmak for questioning for two days.

She was dressed in a black balloon coat, a black hat, black boots, black leggings, a bag with things, she had her passport and a friend’s phone number on paper.

On 12.01, the commandant’s office said that she was in prison because she refused to accept the citizenship of the occupation authorities, did not want to work for this authority and incited the local population not to take Russian money.

On 18.01, her brother was informed that she was deported to the city of Vasylivka, but she did not get to the territory controlled by Ukraine. There is no more information.

“We ask all concerned people who saw her, who were with her in prison, who may have acquaintances who work in military hospitals of the Russian Federation in the temporarily occupied territories, including in the Zaporizhzhіa region and Donbas, to call Lyudmila Hryhorivna Tsikalo (sister) or the police,” they appealed to the citizens.

Another missing man is Viktor Ivanovych Kodak, born on April 15, 1974, lived at the address: Voskresenka village, Pologivskyi district, Zaporizhzhіa region. The occupiers took him from the house on November 9, 2022 in an unknown direction. 

2 months have passed since the disappearance, there is no information about Viktor’s recovery. No matter where the relatives turned, everything was in vain.

“We are asking all concerned people who may have seen him or were in prison with him, who may have acquaintances who work in military hospitals of the Russian Federation in the temporarily occupied territories, including in the Zaporizhzhia, Donetsk and Luhansk regions. We will be grateful for any information! Contacts of relatives: Konovchenko Svitlana Ivanivna (sister), Kodak Iryna Viktorivna (daughter), citizens are asked.

In occupied Melitopol, the Russians destroyed an avenue of decorative maple trees.

In Melitopol, along the avenue of the 50th anniversary of the Victory, opposite the cinema, the avenue of spherical maples was completely destroyed. All trees are either broken or uprooted.

Locals also report that with each passing day of occupation, the city is increasingly turning into a garbage dump. The streets are hardly cleaned, and the bins are full.

The occupiers cut down one of the oldest oak trees in the Zaporizhzhia region for firewood. It is about the oak-patriarch, which grew in the village of Terpinya, Melitopol district.

The circumference of the trunk was almost four human girths, and the height of the tree was 40 meters. Experts claimed that after the 700-year-old Zaporizhzhya oak, it was the oldest in the region.

However, this did not stop the occupiers for a moment – only a stump remained from the old tree.

On January 22, the Russian military broke into the church in the city of Berdyansk, located in the temporarily occupied territory, searched and checked the documents of those present. Then everyone was taken out, the church building was locked and the keys were taken away.

The pastor was summoned to the commandant’s office of the city of Berdyansk.

The Baptist Church will be 115 years old in September 2022.

“She was subjected to many trials of the Soviet era. And today, with the arrival of the “Russian Peace”, these trials are returning again.

Our brothers and sisters need protection and prayerful support.”

The occupying forces tortured the Honored Forester of Ukraine Volodymyr Nosik to death. Vladimir Ivanovich worked in forestry for 42 years.

This was reported in the State Agency for Forest Resources of Ukraine.

For the last 35 years he has worked in the Pologovsky forestry enterprise (including as a director) of the Zaporizhzhia region.

The invaders tried to advance in the Zaporizhzhia direction near Maly Shcherbakov on January 20-21. As a result of a combat clash with units of the Defense Forces, the losses of the invaders during this period amounted to more than 50 people, 16 of them were killed.
