“The occupying troops of the Russian Federation force the residents of Mariupol to go to Russia or to the temporarily occupied territory of ORDLO. As of 8:00 am, there is information that residents of Azovstalska and Ukrainian Cossacks streets in the Livoberezhnyy district of Mariupol are being illegally deported to enemy territory. “
People who are forcibly deported to Russia have their Ukrainian passports confiscated and instead issued a piece of paper that has no legal weight and is not recognized throughout the civilized world.

Comment: Mariupol Mayor Vadym Boychenko:
“Over the past week, several thousand Mariupol residents were deported to Russia. The occupiers illegally removed people from the Livoberezhnyy district and from the shelter in the building of the sports club, where more than a thousand people (mostly women and children) were hiding from the constant bombing. Fighting took place in these areas. In order to save the lives of Mariupol residents, the Armed Forces of Ukraine withdrew from places of mass gatherings, and it was used by the aggressor. “
According to Vadym Boychenko, the captured Mariupol residents were taken to “filtration camps”, where the occupiers checked people’s phones and documents, and after the inspection some Mariupol residents were redirected to remote cities in Russia. The fate of the rest captured residents is still unknown.
