russia's attack on Mariupol city has turned it into ruins, that was what the Governor of the Donetsk region Pavlo Kyrylenko had told CNN on Friday.
“The enemy cannot capture Mariupol,” he said. “The enemy may only capture the land that Mariupol used to stand on, but no more the city of Mariupol itself. The city of Mariupol was wiped off the face of the earth by the russian federation.”
The comments appeared after russia had claimed success in the capturing of Mariupol, and weather conditions slowed down the movement of military equipment.
According to Kyrylenko, as a major battle is likely to take place in the coming days, he called on civilians to evacuateх.
It should be recalled that russian troops have begun to exhume bodies that were previously buried in the yards of residential buildings.
The Mariupol City Council has written about this in its Telegram channel.
According to Mariupol residents who are still in the city, russian troops are digging out bodies that were previously buried in the yards of residential buildings. Moreover, the occupiers forbid the burial of people killed by them. In each yard the overseer was assigned in order not to allow Mariupol citizens to bury their dead relatives or acquaintances.
