The invaders are digging new defense lines in southern Ukraine – mayor of Melitopol

The Russian invaders build new defensive structures and defense lines around the cities of Melitopol, Tokmak, Pologi and Molochansk in the Zaporozhye region that they temporarily occupied. The mayor of Melitopol, Ivan Fedorov, announced this on Tuesday, January 9, in a national telethon.

According to the mayor, new objects were found using the European Space Agency’s satellite.

“Just the other day we saw satellite images documenting the construction of new protective structures. This means that the enemy is not stopping what he built in the spring,” he said.

Fedorov noted that we are talking about tens of kilometers of new trenches and defense structures in the Zaporozhye and Donetsk regions.

“Right now, they are building new defensive structures around Polog and Melitopol. And they are doing this to slow down and complicate the advance of our Ukrainian military deeper into the temporarily occupied Zaporozhye region,” he said.

The mayor drew attention to the fact that, despite the “triumphant” statements of Russian propaganda about the supposed victories at the front, the enemy continues to strengthen the cities and routes of the “deep rear.”

“The enemy is doing this en masse… They continue to build defensive structures from Melitopol to Crimea,” the mayor said.

We remind you that earlier a video appeared on the network of how a sniper from Azov destroyed the enemy. The journalist showed how the Ukrainian Armed Forces occupied the positions of the Russians near the village of Sinkovka, Kharkov region.
