It has been established that 70 russian servicemen were killed in night patrols in the temporarily occupied Melitopol from March 20 to April 12, 2022. Invaders, including Kadyrov’s Chechen soldiers, were among those eliminated.

Stabs and gunshot wounds are main causes of death among the russian forces on patrol missions during curfew. The occupation administration carefully conceals information on the exact death toll and circumstances of such deaths.

There is evidence that this is a result of the efforts by the Ukrainian resistance movement in Melitopol.

So far, the units of the occupying forces have failed to identify those involved in the extermination of russian servicemen.
