In Energodar, Zaporozhye region, where the invaders kidnapped the deputy mayor Ivan Samoydyuk, local residents took to the streets against the actions of the Russian enemy. The video from the rally was published by the mayor of Energodar Dmitry Orlov.

“At least one and a half thousand Energodar residents promptly responded to the call and less than an hour later gathered near the executive committee for a peaceful protest to say “No! "

Together with his colleagues, he stressed that in the realities in which local governments operate, now the kidnapping of a person, a citizen, an official Ivan Samoydyuk, who successfully solved a huge block of social problems, is a provocation.. And it completely threatens the further life support of the city.. It is indicated that if Samoydyuk is not released by tomorrow, such actions will become perpetual and around the clock..

“Despite the fact that the action was of an exclusively peaceful nature, already at its end, when people began to go home, the Russian military arrived and tried to capture several participants in the event and stuff them into a car..

But hundreds of people became a dense wall and literally fought off their countrymen from captivity! The occupiers started firing into the air and were forced to abandon their predatory attempts to imprison civilians,” Orlov added..
