Russian forces plan to parade Azov citizens in Mariupol show trial on Ukraine's Independence Day  - intelligence

This was reported by Ukrainian intelligence in a telegram.

"On the Ukrainian Independence Day, Russian occupiers plan to hold a demonstration "court" of the captured defenders of "Azovstal" in the temporarily occupied Mariupol. For this purpose, the surviving premises of the Mariupol Chamber Philharmonic are being urgently converted. On the stage of the philharmonic, iron cages are being installed, in which the Ukrainian Defenders will be kept.  Also, several new temporary buildings are being built next to the premises," the department emphasized.

To make it look more "legitimate", the invaders are preparing specially trained "witnesses" and bringing Russian propagandists to Mariupol.

According to intelligence information, Russians may launch a pinpoint missile attack on the Philharmonic and traditionally blame Ukraine for their crime.
