90% of Mariupol's transport infrastructure destroyed by Russia cannot be restored - city council

Mariupol city council shared information.

It is noted that Russians destroyed almost all the vehicles that the city had purchased over the past 5 years. According to the city council, 259 buses, trolleybuses and trams were damaged, about 90% were completely destroyed and cannot be restored.

It became known that the invaders are trying to repair the transport that more or less survived and are sending it to occupied Donetsk.

The Mariupol City Hall also reports that the Russians destroyed more than 50 km of the trolleybus and tram contact network, i.e. 95%. It takes about 2-3 years of repair work to restore.

"In just 5 years, we managed to build a modern transport model. We bought comfortable buses and trolleybuses, launched new routes. We have already started repairing the depot, which was supposed to become the best in Ukraine. The people of Mariupol finally got a European level of service in their hometown. The Russians cynically destroyed all this. "Now they are also taking the surviving vehicles to Donetsk. And the Mariupol residents are being given outdated buses. This is their 'liberation', which is based on destruction and abuse of the residents," commented the mayor of the city, Vadym Boychenko.
