Slavery in Mariupol: Russian occupiers seize farmers' property, force them to stay and work without pay

In Mariupol, invading Russian forces are seizing local farmers' property, banning them from evacuating, and forcing them to do unpaid labor

This was reported by Petro Andryushchenko, adviser to the mayor of Mariupol, on Telegram.

According to the mayor's advisor, during the visit to the Mariupol district by Russian curators Sablin and Petro Ivanov, land and crops were forcibly seized from farmers who did not manage to evacuate.

"Now Mariupol farmers are required not only to collect and hand over the entire harvest to the "young republic". Now, with the help of the indisputable argument of Russian weapons, they are forced to sign legal papers on the free transfer of ownership rights to land plots and property to people named by Ivanov", it is noted. 

Andryushchenko also informs that the Russian invaders have arranged real serfdom for Ukrainians in the temporarily occupied territories.

"The particular cynicism is that after that they are forbidden to evacuate in any direction and they are obliged to work for hire from racketeers almost for free. This is what modern serfdom in Russia looks like", Andryushchenko wrote.
