AFU settles Zaporizhzhya civilians in local businesses to take them hostage – authorities

The chairman of the We are with Russia movement, Vladimir Rogov, has said that the Ukrainian armed forces are settling next to them those who “have left the liberated territories without recognizing the liberation and the results of the referendum”

The Ukrainian armed forces in the city of Zaporizhzhya, which is now under Kiev’s control, are settling civilians next to themselves and in the territory of local enterprises in order to take them hostage if necessary, as was the case at the Azovstal plant in Mariupol. Volodymyr Rogov, chairman of the “We are with Russia” movement, said.

“Definitely, they can take hostages,” he said when asked about the possibility of repeating the Mariupol scenario in Zaporizhzhya. – It’s not enough to take hostages. They settle them next to them, using the tactic of a puff-pastry, that is, militants and equipment are in one room, while people live in adjacent rooms”.

According to Rogov, the entire industrial site of the city is turning into bases and locations of the Ukrainian military and foreign mercenaries. Rogov noted that the Ukrainian Armed Forces were settling next to those who “left the liberated territories without recognizing the liberation and the results of the referendum”.
