In Melitopol, Zaporizhia Oblast, which is temporarily under the control of the occupiers, the process of "denazification"

In Melitopol, Zaporizhia Oblast, which is temporarily under the control of the occupiers, the process of "denazification" has begun - hunting for Ukrainians who do not obey the invaders.

Representatives of the "russian commandant's office" gather the heads of condominiums and knock out the addresses of "bandera and fascists" - citizens of Ukraine who consider the Ukrainian government the only legitimate and keep or display the flag or emblem of Ukraine.

Under this high-profile pretext, the racists intimidate civilians, kidnap activists, search homes, and rob businessmen.

The occupiers are also trying to appropriate the humanitarian aid given to the citizens by the Ukrainian authorities and volunteers.

Halyna Danylchenko, a collaborator who declared herself the "head of the occupation administration," issued a personal order banning the distribution of humanitarian aid to people.  Instead, it is planned to sell part of the aid for cash and distribute the rest to pro-russian supporters and servicemen of the occupier's army.

In her address, the self-proclaimed "mayor" of Melitopol called on the city's residents to "adjust to the new reality."

I would like to remind Halyna Danylchenko that the new reality implies responsibility for collaborationism, from 10 years to life imprisonment.

The aggressor's actions in Melitopol are a war crime defined by the Statute of the International Military Tribunal and the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court, and a violation of the Geneva Convention relative to the Protection of Civilian Persons in Time of War.

I call on the international community to use all means of sanctions against the terrorist state of the Russian Federation to stop the military invasion of Ukraine and liberate all Ukrainian cities and towns.

Melitopol did not go to the ultimatum of the occupiers, did not break under the threat of repression.  The racists can proclaim anyone as the city's leader, but the Ukrainian people will not submit to the occupiers.  Melitopol is Ukraine!
