Details: A "fascist" is anyone who does not agree that Melitopol is part of Russia, anyone who has kept or is displaying the flag or coat of arms of Ukraine, and anyone who considers the Ukrainian government to be the only legitimate government.
On 25 March, Russian troops arrived in the village of Kyrylivka, introduced themselves to the local residents and local government as the "military command of the city of Melitopol" and offered "cooperation." The Head of the Kyrylivka village council rejected the offer and has pointed the occupying troops in the widely known direction [this refers to the infamous "Russian warship, f*ck off" chant].
Journalists who continue to work in the temporarily occupied territories of the Zaporizhzhia region are receiving threats and demands to stop working for Ukraine. Terrorists threaten them with imprisonment under the "Terrorism" clause of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation if they continue reporting and publishing activities.
In Berdyansk, the occupiers are pressuring those who ensure the city’s livelihood and care for the safety of civilians. Despite this, Ukrainians – critical infrastructure workers – continue to work and perform their duties even on a voluntary basis.
