“Today, an order was signed to establish the Melitopol State University.

It will be a fairly large structure, formed on the basis of previously existing educational institutions in the Zaporozhye region.

This will allow us to largely enlarge, raise the level of the teaching staff and adapt the system of this educational institution to the Russian Federation as much as possible,” he said.

Earlier, Vladimir Rogov, a member of the main council of the military-civilian administration of the Zaporozhye region, expressed the opinion that Ukrainian military bases in the region should be transferred to Russia.

Also in Melitopol, one of the streets was renamed in honor of the Soviet intelligence officer Pavel Sudoplatov, earlier this street was named after the ideologist of Ukrainian nationalism Dmitry Dontsov.
