Russian troops go through Mariupol from Berdiansk for first time - mayor's advisor Andriushchenko

He shared the information on Espreso TV.

"I hope that everyone has noticed that the General Staff of the Ukrainian Armed Forces has commented on the situation in the Berdiansk direction for the first time. Believe me, this is very good news for anyone who follows what is happening in Mariupol. This is enough to keep us optimistic. In addition, today we are witnessing an increase in the occupiers' movement through Mariupol from Berdiansk, not vice versa. We are still trying to find out where they are headed. However, such news gives us cautious optimism about the liberation of our territories," explained Andriushchenko.
