War in Ukraine: Melitopol’s residents and its pro-Ukrainian mayor relocated to Zaporizhzhia – France 24
Issued on: Modified:
In the early hours of Thursday the 27th, there was an explosion in Melitopol, one of the largest Russian-occupied cities in Ukraine. It’s believed to be the work of Ukrainian partisans who have been engaged in active and violent resistance to the Russian occupation of the city. Several members of the occupational authorities have already been killed or seriously wounded in apparently homegrown blasts since Russian forces entered the city in February last year, forcing the pro-Ukrainian mayor and his team to leave. They relocated to Zaporizhzhia, the regional capital. FRANCE 24’s Gulliver Cragg, Catalina Gomez and Illia Dyadik report.
