It became known how many Mariupol residents are returning to occupation.


The advisor to the mayor of Mariupol, Petro Andryushchenko, spoke about the return of Ukrainians to temporarily occupied territories. According to him, about 30% of Mariupol residents are returning to occupation, and some of them are returning forever. Statistics show that at least 350,000 Ukrainians tried to enter Sheremetyevo Airport, but only 100-130 of them were allowed through. The share of Ukrainians who have returned forever is about 50-60%.
The reason for this return to temporarily occupied territories, according to Petro Andryushchenko, is the lack of state support for internally displaced persons who are deprived of any assistance. Many people do not have enough means to live in Ukraine, so they decide to return to the occupied territories, where there is at least some shelter or more assistance. According to Petro Andryushchenko, this return is not a betrayal, but a consequence of the problems these people face.
In addition, he noted that some people are also leaving Mariupol and staying in European Union countries.
Ramzan Kadyrov is plundering Mariupol
It should be noted that the head of Chechnya, Ramzan Kadyrov, is engaged in the plundering of occupied Mariupol. He continues to sell non-functional equipment at high prices and is mass-exporting scrap metal from the city. Occupiers are also selling apartments in Mariupol at very inflated prices, which has outraged local residents.
