Quote: "Russians have suddenly ‘fallen ill’ in the occupied territory of Zaporizhzhia Oblast. Last night, more than 10 occupiers with injuries of various degrees of severity were taken to the hospital in Melitopol. They are allegedly being retrieved from under the rubble of the school in the village of Mykhailivka.

We also know that last night things were loud in the occupied city of Vasylivka."

Details: Fedorov added that the Russian occupiers in Melitopol ordered civilians to leave the in-patient department of the emergency hospital. The patients’ family members are also being sent away without the opportunity to see patients or consult a doctor.

"It must be said that it is in this hospital that the patients who have been operated on, and those whose lives depend on surgery, were staying. But the Russcists do not care about civilians. They have in fact besieged the hospital in order to save their ‘cargo 300’ [a military code word used in the Soviet Union and the post-Soviet states to refer to ‘wounded personnel’]," Fedorov added.

Background: Earlier, the General Staff of Ukraine reported that on 15 November, in the city of Melitopol, the Armed Forces of Ukraine destroyed the headquarters of one of the Russian units. Apart from that, as a result of the work of the defence forces in the settlements of Kinsky Rozdory, Vladivka and Blahovishchenka in Zaporizhzhia Oblast, two ammunition storage points, two BM-21 Grad and an S-300 anti-aircraft system were destroyed. One hundred Russian personnel members were killed and injured, as well.
