Quote: "The Russian occupying forces continue to suffer heavy losses on the battlefield. As a result, the enemy continues to equip civilian facilities in the temporarily occupied territories as medical establishments.

For example, in the city of Melitopol, Zaporizhzhia Oblast, the occupiers set up a children's sanatorium under a military hospital, where more than 200 occupiers with injuries of varying degrees of severity are being treated.

In addition, Russian terrorists, disregarding the laws of international humanitarian law, placed a base of Russian military personnel with military equipment on the territory of the Melitopol Oleksandr Nevskyi Cathedral.
