 Russians keep trying to force Zaporizhia's residents to fight against Ukraine. The Russian-appointed governor of Zaporizhia Oblast, Yevhen Bolitsky, ordered the creation of a so-called People's Militia in the temporarily occupied territory in Zaporizhia Oblast in order to recruit the local population into its ranks for the war against Ukraine. Ivan Fedorov, mayor of Melitopol told it. He has said, so-called Governor Bolitsky is already trying to force the residents in the occupation to fight for Russia for the third time. A year ago, allegedly to protect public order, he created the so-called Kossak troops based on the territory of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of the Moscow Patriarchate. Then they created the Sudaplative Regiment, to which they had been recruiting volunteers from the occupied territory but did not find any. Now he ordered the creation of a People's Militia, once more to allegedly maintain order. Bolitsky have noted that Zaporizhia's collaborators are acting according to the Donetsk scenario. When after the occupation of parts of Donetsk and Lohansk Oblasts in 2014, the so-called People's Militia was created, which was later transformed into the Army Corps of the Donetsk and Lohansk People's Republics.
