Konotop in Sumy region will not surrender after the orcs’ ultimatum of destroying the city with artillery if the Mayor doesn’t hand it to them. This was reported by Radio Liberty with the reference to a Facebook post of Artem Semenikhin, Mayor of Konotop.
Earlier, he discussed with the city community that the Russian orcs had set conditions: either the city surrenders, or they destroy it with the missiles.
«They set conditions for us: if we start to resist, they blow up the city with artillery. If [we are] for – we fight. Who is in favor of fighting? To fight. I am for fighting. We are making decisions together, because the artillery is aimed at us,» – Artem Semenikhin said.
The Mayor also made proposals to «take women out of the city and fight.»
We will add that total losses of Russia after six days of full-scale invasion in Ukraine reached 5840, according to the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. The Ukrainian Minister of Defence Oleksii Reznikov claims that Russia is losing the battle on all fronts – military, economic, and informational. Therefore, it changed its tactic to using sabotage groups, ruthlessly killing the civilians with the missiles and aviation and destroying the information infrastructure to spread fake news. Also, putin ordered to prepare the nuclear defence in russia, and orcs’ minister of defence sergei shoigu already reported of having carried out the order.
