Quote from Fedorov: "Today, the Armed Forces of Ukraine have made significant progress and are already on the borders of Kherson. I am confident that in the near future, in the coming weeks, the city of Kherson will be liberated [from Russian occupiers] by our heroic military.

The situation is the same in the area of Melitopol. Our Armed Forces have already advanced more than 10 kilometres from Zaporizhzhia toward Melitopol".

Details: Fedorov hopes that Western weapons will help Ukraine liberate the territories occupied by the Russians.

The mayor of Melitopol also said that Russians continue to abduct people, including pastors and activists, not realising that "99.9% of people do not support them."
