Residents in Melitopol Protest Russian Occupation of City
Residents of Melitopol in Ukraine’s southeastern Zaporizhia Oblast protested Russian forces occupying the city on Monday, March 7.
Melitopol’s mayor Ivan Fedorov wrote on Facebook on Monday that authorities had lost control of local television and radio.
“Melitopol TV and radio towers are under the control of the Russian occupiers,” Fedorov said. “The information broadcast on local television and radio is inaccurate.”
