Quote from Fedorov: "Next 'cotton' [Russian propaganda, initially refusing to use the word 'vzryv' (explosion), used 'khlopok' (a bang) instead. However, 'khlopok' also means 'cotton', and this has since become a meme - ed.] for Russians in Kyrylivka! This year, the Ruscists [Russian soldiers] deprived more than 5 million people of the resort on the Azov coast. Instead, they "nationalised" recreation centres and hotel facilities, bragging about the way they relax.
Moreover, they brought their military equipment to Kyrylivka, fearing that the Armed Forces of Ukraine would get to it in Melitopol. Well, our forces are everywhere: both outside and inside the enemy's lair. And it's not just the sun that makes Rushists burn this summer."
Details: Fedorov has not specified what had caused the explosions and where exactly they occurred.
Background:
- On the night of 23 July, explosions were heard in the occupied Kyrylivka. Then Fedorov hinted that the military equipment of the occupiers had exploded there.
- In May, the Zaporizhzhia Oblast Military Administration reported that more than two dozen Russian armoured personnel carriers entered the recreation base in Kyrylivka.
