First mass civil disobedience protest takes place in Russian-occupied Mariupol - mayor's adviser

Mariupol mayor's adviser Petro Andryushchenko shared the update.

The Russian military planned to demolish 9-storey buildings on the st. Solar (numbers 1, 3, 5 and 7), blowing them up.

"However, the locals were informed within a day and they were not able to take out their personal belongings. The arrival of the Russian Ministry of Emergency Situations was met with a protest, which in itself was a surprise for the Russians. People literally fell under tractors. The first action of mass disobedience took place in Mariupol," Andryushchenko wrote.

He said that with the participation of local collaborators, they agreed to postpone the blast to next week.

Another conflict arose in the so-called Metro humanitarian headquarters.

"Yesterday they began to pay salaries to 'volunteers', people who worked on the debris dismantling and landscaping. Control on the spot was carried out by State Duma deputy Sablin. Instead of the announced salary for a month and a half people were given only 11,000 rubles a month. The actual riot of such a level began when access to the Metro was closed, and people were dispersed by Russian military shots in the air. It's clear that the rest of the cash remained with Sablin and his team of collaborators, but the very fact of active opposition is gaining momentum, gradually moving from a passive to an active phase of confrontation," said the mayor's adviser.
