The exact number of deaths of Mariupol residents is unlikely to be known, as the occupiers are trying by all means to hide their war crimes.
According to official figures, the number of Mariupol residents who died at the hands of the occupiers was more than 22 thousand, but the mayor of Mariupol Vadim Boychenko believes that the real number of victims may be higher . The mayor announced this at a briefing on Wednesday, June 22nd.
“Our careful count, while we can still count, is 22,000 civilians killed by the occupying forces. This is many times more than what Nazi Germany did during the two years of occupation,” Boychenko said.
The mayor and his adviser have repeatedly reported that the exact number of deaths of Mariupol residents is unlikely to be known, as the occupiers are trying by all means to hide their war crimes.
In particular, the occupiers in Mariupol were demolishing houses without removing the corpses of the dead under the rubble.
It was previously reported that at least 25,000 civilians died in Mariupol after the Russian invasion.
People were buried in parks, squares and in the courtyards of houses. Many large mass graves have been discovered around the city.
