Quote: "As of this morning, there were 6000 cars in Vasylivka (this is the only city that connects the temporarily occupied territory to the territory controlled by the government of Ukraine [of Zaporizhzhia Oblast - ed.]).
The Russians are taunting our people, because this morning they let about 100 cars go through to the last checkpoint. People were crying with happiness that they might soon be in Zaporizhzhia [city], but right on the so-called ‘plate’, they turned them around and said that Saturday and Sunday are days off, and they continue to taunt our people."
Details: Fedorov added that people have been living in their cars for more than 10 days and cannot leave for Zaporizhzhia.
