Ivan Fedorov, Mayro of Melitopol, has, reportedly, been abducted by the Russians who have seized control of the city and tried, in vain, to get him to collaborate with them.  This new abduction comes a day after Russian soldiers burst into the Melitopol home of Leila Ibrahimova, a Crimean Tatar and Deputy Head of the Zaporizhya Regional Council, carried out a ‘search’, seized her mobile phone and took her away.  She was later released, but that abduction and now that of Fedorov are chillingly reminiscent of the lawlessness, the abductions and enforced disappearances, especially of Crimean Tatars,  that Russia brought to Crimea with its invasion in 2014.
