Pillars are being stolen in Melitopol, and evacuation is being discussed in Molochansk: occupiers in the temporarily occupied Zaporizhzhia region are preparing for a "gesture of goodwill" – media

Russians announced the "evacuation" of civilians in the town of Molochansk in the temporarily occupied territory of the Zaporizhzhia region. The buses that are supposed to take Ukrainians to Russia will arrive on the 20th of March.

Meanwhile, there are fewer and fewer Russian occupiers in uniform in Melitopol, as many of the aggressor country's military personnel have changed into civilian clothes. New cases of looting are being recorded there, according to the RIA Melitopol Telegram channel.

"The rashists in the occupied part of the Zaporizhzhia region seem to be preparing for a gesture of goodwill," the community's authors suggested.

They said that the number of enemy soldiers in uniform in Melitopol has significantly decreased. "The situation is similar in the village of Myrne, Melitopol district. The rashists there have even started shaving off their beards and disguising themselves as civilians," they said in Telegram.

The invaders are removing air conditioners in Melitopol offices and generally stealing everything that can be stolen. For example, on March 15, the occupiers stole high-voltage pillars from the territory of the Melitopolska-150 substation on Krupska Street. They were loaded onto carriages and taken out of the city.

In the village councils of the Tokmak district, the Russians forbade local residents to speak Ukrainian. The villagers were told: "You are now in Russia. Get used to it."

In Molochansk, on the contrary, local residents were told that a so-called evacuation to Russia was planned. "The military themselves say between them that the Ukrainian army will allegedly launch an offensive on March 20 or 22. They are very afraid of it and discuss it with each other every day near shops and the village council," the locals say.

As OBOZREVATEL previously reported, the mayor of Melitopol, Ivan Fedorov, also said that the occupiers are preparing to flee the Zaporizhzhia region. They are starting to clean up collaborators in the Vasylivskyi district, for example, one of the deputies of the "military administration" was put in the basement and accused of stealing money.
