Russia is preparing a full-scale mobilization in the temporarily occupied territories of the Zaporizhzhia region

The mayor of Melitopol, Ivan Fedorov, announced this on the air of the telethon.

The Russian military in Vasylivka do not let out the men with a military ID confirming they are fit for service, as well as those who do not have a military ID, to Zaporizhzhia.

The occupation authorities also appointed a "supervisor" of prisons in the temporarily occupied territories of the Zaporizhzhia region. The recruitment of prisoners from the region's facilities to serve in the ranks of the Russian army is also ongoing.

"It is clear that the enemy is going to use our men as cannon fodder on the front line," says Ivan Fedorov.
