Russian invaders have already demolished about 300 high-rise buildings in Mariupol

This was reported by the press service of the Mariupol City Council.

"The occupiers are trying to hide the traces of their crimes. They are planning to demolish more than 900 houses by the end of the year, because they know that they will soon have to take responsibility for everything they have done. They realize that Putin's arrest warrant is only the first step. Every criminal will be brought to justice. That is why today we are recording all the crimes committed by Russians. They will become the evidence base for The Hague," said Mayor Vadym Boychenko.

It is reported that buildings on Budivelnykiv Avenue in Mariupol are currently being destroyed. 

In total, Russian occupiers have already demolished about 300 high-rise buildings in the occupied city. In particular, along with the bodies of the Mariupol residents they killed.
