Ukraine says Russian troops abduct another mayor in country’s south

Ukraine’s Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba says Russian forces have kidnapped a second Ukrainian mayor — of Dniprorudne, a southern town located near Melitopol.

“Today, Russian war criminals abducted another democratically elected Ukrainian mayor, head of Dniprorudne Yevhen Matveyev,” Kuleba tweets.

“Getting zero local support, invaders turn to terror. I call on all states & international organizations to stop Russian terror against Ukraine and democracy.”
