Russian forces detain dozens of children in 'filtration camps' near Mariupol

The adviser to the mayor of Mariupol Petro Andriushchenko reported about it in the telegram.

He said that yesterday, 313 people, including 55 children, were deported from Mariupol to the Bezymian's filtration camp.

70 people, including 12 children, were taken to Russia from the filtration point in Nikolskyi. 175 Ukrainians, 17 of them are children, were deported from Bezymianyi.

"Deportation is gaining momentum. We are recording a direct deportation from Nikolskyi to Russia, which has not happened before. We think that this is due to the actual closing the evacuation route to Zaporizhzhia ",  Petro Andriushchenko said.

On May 21, an adviser to the mayor of Mariupol showed how the occupiers deported citizens to Russia.

The occupiers deported 1.3 million people to Russia, including more than 230,000 children.
