People who wanted to flee Zaporozhye were forcibly brought into the occupied territory.
In Mariupol, local residents were waiting for buses to evacuate Zaporozhye, but the Russian occupiers forcibly took them into the occupied territory. This was announced by the adviser to the mayor of Mariupol, Petr Andryushchenko, in the Telegram on Saturday, April 23.
According to him, at 11:00, at least 200 residents of Mariupol gathered near the shopping center of Port City, awaiting evacuation to Zaporozhye.
“Instead of the buses promised by the Russian side, the Russian military drove towards the residents of Mariupol and ordered them to disperse, because“ there will now be shelling. ”In fact, people scattered around. use of coercion in a rude form. The buses were never submitted for loading, “Andryushchenko wrote.
At the same time, the occupiers brought the buses to a point near the Metro shopping center (200 meters from the agreed evacuation point), and began loading. After loading, Mariupol residents were told that the “evacuation” was only in Dokuchaevsk, that is, in the occupied territory. People were not allowed to leave the bus.
“In response to the question,“ why is that? ”, The answer is“ the nationalists fired at the evacuation point. ”That is, another lie,” Andryushchenko added.
Earlier on Saturday, Deputy Prime Minister Irina Vereshchuk warned Mariupol residents about the possibility of Russian military provocations during today’s evacuation.
