The mayor of Melitopol, Ivan Fedorov, said that the Ukrainian defenders continue to move towards the city as part of their counteroffensive.. This is confirmed by the fact that the Armed Forces of Ukraine have moved the front line 5-10 kilometers from Zaporozhye, he said during a video broadcast.

" First of all, this is a counteroffensive of our Armed Forces directly in the Kherson region, in the Kherson direction. To date, the Armed Forces of Ukraine have made significant progress in the direction of Kherson. We are also inspired by this, because this is a movement towards Melitopol. The second is directly the direction from Zaporozhye towards Melitopol. Also, in two weeks, the front advanced from 5 to 10 km towards the city of Melitopol,"

According to him, thanks to the actions of the defenders of Ukraine, the size of the Russian army has greatly decreased, although 110 days ago, at the beginning of the full-scale invasion of the Russian Federation, it was ten times larger..
