Ukrainian forces hit a Russian military logistics base with over 30 strikes in the Russian-occupied southern city of Melitopol on Sunday, the city's exiled mayor said. A Russian-installed official confirmed that strikes had hit the city.
"At 3 o'clock (0000 GMT) and 5 o'clock (0200 GMT), there were over 30 strikes on a single military base," Melitopol Mayor Ivan Fedorov, who is currently on Ukraine-controlled territory, said on Telegram.
The military aerial logistics base has been "taken out of action" and other resistance activity caused a Russian armoured train carrying ammunition to derail on Saturday near Melitopol, Fedorov said.

Why would European governments be any different than other governments?
shoo you low IQ’er.
“Instead you can cheer for the anti-Vlad forces, who are the Ukrainians. NYRK!”
Heck, I am cheering for the impossible, that Putin will meet an early demise, Russia will have a change of heart, and peace will prevail. Wishful thinking doesn’t shape reality though, pain is coming and the longer this war lasts, the more people worldwide will suffer.
