The city of Mariupol, Donetsk region, was surrounded on March 2, 2022, when Russian troops approached it from the south and began advancing along the Azov coast. On May 16, 2022, military personnel were withdrawn from Azovstal in Mariupol to the temporarily occupied Novoazovsk and Olenivka, thus giving Russia full control over the city.

On July 4, Andriushchenko, an advisor to the Mariupol mayor, predicted the de-occupation of the city and explained what indicates that the Russian invaders are ready to flee. According to him, many things indicate that "Mariupol will return home very soon, and therefore Russia simply does not want to spend money on the territory it will soon lose."
