Residents of the Kiev-controlled part of Zaporizhzhya are refusing to serve in the territorial defence forces, there are cases of fighting between them and nationalist barrier troops, a member of the regional state administration, Volodymyr Rogov, has said.
Vladimir Rogov, a member of the Zaporizhzhya region’s main administration council, told RIA Novosti that the region is more than 70% liberated. However, the regional centre, Zaporozhye, is under the control of Ukrainian troops.
“The territorial defence in the Kiev-controlled part of Zaporizhzhya region will be written off. Zaporizhzhya people do not want to fight en masse and are trying in every way to switch to our side. Kiev understands that it is impossible to leave weapons with the residents of Zaporizhzhya Region because they may soon turn them to the other side,” Rogov said.
