Official: Russian occupation authorities in Mariupol evict residents from their homes.

Moscow-installed occupation authorities in Mariupol are illegally evicting residents from their homes if they cannot provide property ownership documents, according to an exiled advisor to city mayor Petro Andriushchenko[1]. "Simply put, if your documents were burnt, and civilian or military occupiers want to move into your apartment, then you are guaranteed a life without a home," Andriushchenko said on Telegram. A day before, the official reported[2] that over 300 houses had been completely demolished after the occupation of Donetsk Oblast's Mariupol.

Mariupol, a once prosperous city on the Azov Sea coast, was home to more than 400,000 people. Russian troops heavily bombed Mariupol since the beginning of the full-scale invasion and occupied the city in May 2022. According to the UN estimates[3], up to 90% of Mariupol's multi-story residential buildings have been damaged or destroyed by Russia's war.

Civilian mortality rates increase in occupied Mariupol

Civilian mortality from natural causes in the Russian-occupied city of Mariupol is on the rise and has surpassed 400 people per week, according to the Ukrainian military's National Resistance Center.
