Mayor of Orenburg Sergey Salmin has decided to leave the post of the mayor of the city and go to the zone of special military operation (SMO). This was announced by the Governor of the Orenburg region Denis Pasler on February 13.

"Today the head of the city of Orenburg Sergey Alexandrovich Salmin appealed to me with a request to give him the opportunity to leave as a volunteer for the SSO.
