Ivan Fedorov, the mayor of Melitopol, said in a video on Facebook, the invaders were forcing the city's teachers to teach in russian.
"Today, russian soldiers go around every school and force teachers to start the educational process in russian from April 1, according to an incomprehensible program", said the mayor of Melitopol.
He noted that the city had difficulties with the salaries payments, because the treasury service blocked all payments to the city of Melitopol.
"It was not clear where I was, where the team members were. To date, all protected payments in the city of Melitopol have been unblocked, including our education department. Most likely in the near future they will receive their salaries for March," Ivan Fedorov added.
Earlier, Fedorov said that in Melitopol, the russian military is building a military base, from which they launch missiles to all cities, not only in the Zaporizhzhya region, but Ukraine in general.
