Russians demolish houses in Mariupol every day

Petro Andriushchenko, adviser to the mayor of Mariupol, reports this on Telegram.

"Every day in the center of Mariupol - minus a high-rise," the mayor's advisor wrote.

He added that occupying Russian troops installed "dragon's teeth", that is anti-tank concrete pyramids, on the city's main avenue.

"The main avenue of the city is being turned into an illustration of "dragon's teeth", which they are trying to cut off Ukrainian Mariupol from returning home. Neither "dragon's teeth,'' nor destruction of the city by excavators will stop de-occupation process. Mariupol was, is and always will be a Ukrainian city - the pearl of the Azov region," Petro Andryushchenko summarized.
