The occupiers placed military equipment and personnel on the destroyed base.

On February 2, in the village of Novobogdanivka, Melitopol district, Zaporizhzhia region, an oil depot was destroyed, on the territory of which the invaders placed military equipment and personnel. The mayor of Melitopol, Ivan Fedorov, spoke about this on the telethon air.

“Of course, there was no fuel at that oil depot, because the Russians stole it a long time ago. However, they kept equipment and personnel there,” he said.

According to Fedorov, the losses of the invaders as a result of the explosions amounted to hundreds of wounded. In particular, according to the mayor, eight KAMAZ trucks with the wounded were brought to one of the institutions that they had previously seized and organized a hospital there.

"That is, these are hundreds of wounded, whom they brought in bulk (from the destroyed oil depot)," the mayor said.

At the same time, according to him, despite the huge losses, the enemy is constantly replenishing human resources.

"And, for example, yesterday, local residents in the territory of the village of Mikhailovka saw about 1.5 thousand "Wagnerites," who were brought to the territory of our region," Fedorov added.
