The russians want to create a media illusion that the residents of Energodar wish to join Russia. In reality, russia plans to connect the Zaporizhzhya Nuclear Power Plant to Rosatom (a russian state atomic energy corporation - translator's note) to destroy Ukraine's energy system, reports Zaporizhzhia Regional Military Administration.
In Enerhodar, the russian military went to apartments and took men away, tied their hands and took them away in an unknown direction. Six abductions were reported. As they were committing their crimes, the russians kept the residents of the apartments at gunpoint.
In Enerhodar, the Municipal utility company "Unified Information Systems" cannot perform its functions, so its funding is suspended until the city's liberation from the occupiers. The company's accounts are blocked, and employees are offered to move to other utility companies for alternative positions temporarily.
In addition, the occupying power is trying to blackmail the loyalty of the residents of Melitopol. Employees of state institutions are threatened with severance, as many immigrants from Mariupol have appeared in the city, seemingly ready to cooperate with the occupying authorities.
Almost half of the population left Melitopol within two months, leaving behind primarily older people or residents with elderly relatives.
In the Pologi district in the village Inzhenerne, local teenagers agreed to collaborate with the occupiers and passed information about abandoned homes and valuables left in them.
According to residents, these minors were involved in looting.
As previously reported, Andriy Shevchyk, a deputy of the Enerhodar City Council, was declared a suspect in collaboration with the occupiers.
In the Zaporizhya region, russians burn the bodies of their fallen in a chicken coop and set up a prison for those who refuse to fight at a local school.
