Quote from Fedorov: "After the active work of the Armed forces of Ukraine last week, Russian servicemen began to take their families out of Melitopol. We can see this clearly."

Details: At the same time, the mayor confirmed the information that after blowing up bridges in the Kherson oblast, the occupiers’ local "leadership" is fleeing to Melitopol. In addition, the city has increased checks of houses to search for saboteurs, as well as "mass filtering" in the middle of the street.

• On 12 August, an adviser to the mayor of Mariupol reported that Russian military families were taken out from the coast of occupied Mariupol after explosions at an airfield in Crimea.
