Russian Invaders Are Getting Ready for Referendum in Melitopol and Threaten Ukrainian Patriots with Deportations

In the temporarily controlled city of Mariupol, the invaders are getting ready to the fake referendum and threaten the pro-Ukrainian citizens with forced deportations, according to Ivan Fedorov, the Mayor of Melitopol.

According to him, the invaders are collecting the personal data of the local residents. The invaders are blocking the entire districts and going door to door asking the local residents about family members and their property.

"For example, yesterday in New Melitopol district with population of around 30 thousand residents, the invaders were going door to door asking to fill the questionnaire. They ask how many people are living in the apartment, what is their attitude toward the invasion rule, what is their attitude towards Ukraine. If someone admits the pro-Ukrainian believe, they force people to undress and search for tattoos”, the Mayor says.

The Russians are also asking the locals about their family members who might take part in the Anti-Terrorist Operation / the Joint-Force operation. If they discover the veteran families, they search the apartments.

The Mayor believes that the invaders are going to use the collected personal data for holding the fake referendums.

Fedorov also reported that the local gauleiters have ordered to evict Ukrainian speakers or the citizens with pro-Ukrainian sentiments. According to him, in the best case the people may be deported to Vasylivka at the Ukraine-controlled territory near the line of control. In the worst case, the victims are forcibly deported to the remote regions of Russia.
