Situation in Mariupol

Russian troops seized Mariupol in February 2022, at the beginning of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine. Since then, the city has become an important transit point for Russian troops, through which they transport weapons, equipment, and soldiers to the front line.

According to the advisor to the mayor of Mariupol, Petro Andriushchenko, Russians have started recruiting people for the war against Ukraine in Mariupol hospitals.
