Ivan Sergeevich Fedorov (Ukrainian: Іван Сергійович Федоров; born 29 August 1988) is a Ukrainian politician who has served as the mayor of Melitopol from 2020 until he was removed from office by Russian forces in 2022. He was previously the first deputy head of the Zaporizhzhia Oblast Council and a member of the Melitopol city council.

Career

Fedorov was elected to 6th convocation of the Melitopol city council. In 2015, he was elected first deputy head of the 7th convocation of the Zaporizhzhia Oblast Council.[1] In 2020, he succeeded Serhiy Minko as the mayor of Melitopol.[1]

On 6 March 2022, Fedorov was awarded the Order for Courage III Class for significant personal contribution to the protection of state sovereignty and territorial integrity of Ukraine, courage and selfless actions shown during the organization of defense of settlements from Russian invaders during the Battle of Melitopol.[2]

On 11 March 2022, the deputy head of the office of the president Kyrylo Tymoshenko stated that Fedorov had been "arrested and abducted by the Russian military." Ukrainian officials reported that "A group of 10 occupiers kidnapped the mayor of Melitopol, Ivan Fedorov," Ukraine's parliament said on Twitter. "He refused to cooperate with the enemy". This was corroborated by Anton Herashchenko and videos released by CNN of Russian soldiers outside a city government building.[3] His abductors placed a plastic bag over his head.[4] Subsequent to the actions of the Russian military, the prosecutor general's office of the self-proclaimed Luhansk People's Republic opened a criminal case against Fedorov. Their investigators stated that he "provided financial and other assistance to the banned nationalist organization Right Sector in committing terrorist crimes against civilians in Donbas."[5] The following day, Saturday, 12 March, former city council member Galina Danilchenko was installed by the Russian occupation forces as mayor.[6]

On 12 March 2022, the president of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelenskyy, stated that Fedorov was being tortured. Zelenskyy requested his release.[7]

Personal life

Fedorov was born 29 August 1988.[5] In a 2019 declaration, he stated that he owned an apartment in Melitopol and a house and land in Zaporizhia.[1]
