September 27 has been declared a holiday in the city in order to increase the attendance of citizens at the polling stations.
Only 20% of Melitopol residents took part in the so-called referendum, the mayor notes. Despite the violent format of this event and the pressure on citizens, only half of the participants, i.e. 10%, voted for joining the russian federation.

In total, the shooter shot down 6 planes and one cruise missile.
The head of Melitopol informs that a local Gauleiter, the illegal director of the local museum, was tasked with forming a ‘volunteer battalion’ of 3K people.
