Melitopol mayor says Ukrainian forces advance over 10 km towards the city

The Armed Forces of Ukraine have advanced more than 10 kilometers towards the temporarily occupied city of Melitopol.

The relevant statement was made by Melitopol Mayor Ivan Fedorov on Facebook, an Ukrinform correspondent reports.

“Our heroic Armed Forces have significantly advanced and are now at the border of Kherson. I am confident, in the near future, our military will liberate Kherson. A similar situation is in the direction of Melitopol. Our Armed Forces have advanced more than 10 kilometers from Zaporizhzhia towards Melitopol,” Fedorov told.

He called on local residents to trust in the Armed Forces of Ukraine and Ukraine’s victory.

A reminder that Russian troops seized the city of Melitopol in late February 2022.
