According to Maleiev: "Today we have received guests, representatives of the Russian Federation, soldiers. They introduced themselves as the ‘military commandant's office of the city of Melitopol’ [Melitopol is currently occupied by Russian troops ed.]. They have obviously offered us to cooperate with them. We have obviously refused.

So I don’t know how much longer they will let us do our job."

Details: Maleiev urged the residents of Kyrylivka to remain calm.

"We are going to continue living as we lived before, to continue working as we worked before," he said.
