Russian military urgently moves 40 vehicles through Mariupol to Zaporizhzhia region

Petro Andryushchenko, head of the Occupation Studies Center, reported the information:

“Last night, a convoy of 40 military vehicles (trucks and tractors) moved through Mariupol at high speed without lights, heading toward the Zaporizhzhia region,” he said.

Additionally, Andryushchenko reported that during the day, Russian forces were redeployed from the Berdyansk area toward Taganrog.

“A convoy accompanied by 15 trucks. Again, train station – train – Sumy region?” wrote the head of the Occupation Studies Center.

He emphasized that in recent days, Russian equipment redeployments have shifted from local movements to an “urgent” status — hence the nighttime security measures and organized convoys of 10 or more trucks.

According to Andryushchenko, the last time such movements were recorded was during the offensive on Vuhledar.

• Russia’s own officials admit to the massive destruction they caused in the currently occupied Mariupol, Donetsk region, during the battles for the city in spring 2022.
