Russian forces appoint former mayor of Irkutsk and Yakutsk as new gauleiter of Mariupol

Petro Andryushchenko, adviser to the mayor of Mariupol, reports.

Andryushchenko claims that Kostyantyn Ivashchenko, gauleiter of Mariupol, traitor from the Oppositional platform party, no longer holds the position of deputy head of city administration.

"Final blow to the Sablin/Ivanov group by FSB officers of Pushylin's cover group. The reason for "change of leader" is internal political struggle", Petro Andryushchenko comments.

Russian invading forces appointed Dmitry Berdnikov, former mayor of Irkutsk and Yakutsk, who was "transferred" to Mariupol from the Republic of Yakutia, as new deputy head of occupation administration.

The Mayor's advisor informs that "a complete failure of preparation for winter period" and "too large scale of embezzlement of funds." was named as a reason to replace Ivashchenko. In fact, now he "performs the role of talking head" and no longer participates in the life processes of the city under occupation.

"New gauleiter of Mariupol, Berdnikov, arrives with his people for almost all positions, and even with his personal security. For now, Ivashchenko will retain the function of talking head, but he has already been removed from all processes in the city, including theft of scrap metal", Petro Andryushchenko said.

Andryushchenko summarizes that "there is no future for Ivashchenko's henchmen" and collaborators "will simply begin to disappear forever".

"This is definitely good news. So we collect popcorn and make bets on who will be the first to join Kobzon. No regrets. No sympathy. No apologies. Let's keep working", advisor to the mayor of Mariupol concluded.
