Number of Russian soldiers in Mariupol increases 7-10 times - mayor's adviser Andriushchenko

Petro Andriushchenko, adviser to the mayor of Mariupol, said this on Espreso TV. 

“We are observing an increase (in the number of military personnel - Ed.). It started on Friday, and we can claim that the number of military personnel has increased 7-10 times,” he emphasized.

According to the mayor's advisor, the Russian forces have entirely settled on the coast from Gurzuf to Mariupol. All the abandoned boarding houses and recreation centers are also full of soldiers. In addition, they are set up in Manhush, Nikolske, and in the north of the Mariupol district.
