At the Chongar checkpoint on the road from Melitopol to Crimea, long queues of cars formed with people who are trying to leave Melitopol because of the evacuation announced by the occupiers, said the mayor of Melitopol Ivan Fedorov.

According to Fedorov, the military and the owners of special passes pass the checkpoint out of turn.
Trucks with loot stand in a separate line, and thousands of cars will have to wait at least five hours to cross.
As the Center for National Resistance reported, the Russian occupation troops prepared plans for evacuation from the temporarily occupied territory of the Zaporozhye region..
