In occupied Melitopol, Zaporizhia, the Russian military set up a military base and a flophouse right in the church "Word of Life", located in the city center. Due to the offensive of the Ukrainian armed forces on the Kherson front, they decided to traditionally cover themselves with civilians, using the tactics.

This is reported by RIA Melitopol. It is noted that the invaders covered the fence around the church with a camouflage net, and inside they spend the night and placed traffic police cars, and military cargo transport.
