In Mariupol, the occupiers began demolishing the houses together with the bodies of the dead – Andryushchenko

In the temporarily captured city of Mariupol (Donetsk region), the Russian occupiers began demolishing houses destroyed during the shelling, without dismantling the rubble or looking for dead people under it.

The adviser to the mayor of Mariupol Petro Andryushchenko informed about it.

He noted that in this way the Russian invaders are trying to destroy the evidence of their crimes: the scale of casualties among civilians in Mariupol during the bombing of the Russian army.

– Yesterday, after the publication of data on the bodies of those killed under the rubble, the occupiers began the direct demolition of houses without dismantling the rubble. The first houses on 56-60 Yednosti Avenue were demolished under heavy security with the involvement of “state volunteers”. The Russians are destroying the evidence without spending more time searching for the dead in the smashed houses, –  Andryushchenko stressed.

He clarified that information about the new bodies of the dead could not be obtained due to the fact that immediately after the demolition of the houses, the occupiers took everything to the landfill in the Left Bank district.

– If corpses remained in the buildings, they were unloaded together with garbage at the landfill. Inhuman treatment of even the dead has gained unprecedented momentum, – Andryushchenko added.

The day before, it was reported that the Russian occupiers in Mariupol fired from a tank at a residential building for propaganda videos. And to cover up their crime, the racists began dismantling the rubble, from which they retrieved the six bodies of the dead civilians.

According to the Mariupol City Council, 25 trench-type sectors for burying the dead have appeared in the cemetery near the city. The occupiers put the bodies in several layers, and then “mask” the graves with tablets as individual burials.

According to official figures, at least 22,000 people died during the siege of Mariupol and the shelling of Russian troops. The exact number is currently unknown.

Several places of mass burial were found in Mariupol and near the city.
