Russian troops in Mariupol plan to demolish residential block near Azovstal

This was reported by the Mariupol City Council on Telegram.

"In occupied Mariupol, Russian troops plan to demolish an entire residential block. Russian forces and their supporters seek to completely destroy the Ukrainian city. A map with destruction plans was published by propagandist media on Yandex. According to Russian meadia, there are plans to completely demolish a residential block near the Azovstal plant in the Left Bank district of the city. "These are Morsky Boulevard and Azovstalska Street. Civilians still live there. They remain in dilapidated houses without power, gas and heating," the message reads.

The city council emphasized that in this way, Russian forces continue their efforts to control Mariupol. High-rise buildings, purposefully bombed during the siege, are regularly demolished.
