The Russian-appointed administrator of a small town in the Russian-occupied east of Ukraine’s Kharkiv region was killed by a car bomb, which was allegedly the work of Ukrainian saboteurs, regional occupation authorities said. Russian news agency TASS.
The civil-military administration said Yevgeny Yunakov, the chief administrator of Velikyi Burluk, was killed by a Ukrainian sabotage and reconnaissance group, according to TASS.
While Russia has explicitly said it wants to remove the eastern Ukrainian provinces of Luhansk and Donetsk from Kiev’s control, it shows no signs of wanting to relinquish other territories it has conquered since the February 24 invasion of Ukraine.
Alongside parts of the Kharkiv region in the east, Russian forces also captured swathes of the Ukrainian provinces of Kherson and Zaporizhzhia in southern Ukraine.
Also on Monday, occupation authorities in Zaporizhzhia reported that Andrei Siguta, the district chief of Melitopol, one of the first cities to fall to Russian forces, had escaped an attempt on his life by a saboteur by shooting in his House.
Vladimir Rogov, a senior member of the Russian-appointed civil-military administration of Zaporizhzhia province, said on his Telegram channel that the alleged assassin was killed in a shootout.
On June 24, a top official of the Russian-based Kherson regional administration was killed by a bomb, according to the deputy head of government.
The next day, the Ukrainian military intelligence chief declined to comment on partisan resistance efforts in the occupied territories, but told Reuters that “those people who betrayed Ukraine and all those wretches who came here to destroy our country will be destroyed.” ”.
Russia calls the invasion a “special military operation” and says it had to act to protect Ukraine’s Russian-speakers from persecution and neutralize a Western-backed threat to Russia’s security.
Kiev and the West say these are baseless pretexts for a war of imperial conquest.
