Russian mobile crematoria have started operating in Mariupol. After the widespread international genocide in Bucha, Russia’s top leadership ordered the destruction of any evidence of crimes committed by its army in Mariupol. This was reported in the Mariupol City Council.
«One week ago, cautious estimates put the death toll at 5,000. But given the size of the city, catastrophic destruction, the duration of the blockade and fierce resistance, tens of thousands of civilians from Mariupol could have fallen victim to the occupiers. That is why Russia is in no hurry to give the green light to the Turkish mission and other initiatives to save and fully evacuate Mariupol. In addition, all potential witnesses of the occupiers’ atrocities are being identified through filtration camps and destroyed,» – the statement said.

The Russians left the dirty work for the collaborators. Eyewitnesses report that the racists recruited local and DNR terrorists to special brigades.
They collect and burn the bodies of Mariupol residents murdered and killed as a result of the Russian invasion. The work of these groups is directly coordinated by the self-proclaimed mayor-collaborator Kostiantyn Ivashchenko.
«The world has not seen the scale of the tragedy as in Mariupol since the Nazi concentration camps. The rashists turned our whole city into a death camp. Unfortunately, the eerie analogy is gaining more and more confirmation. This is no longer Chechnya or Aleppo. This is the new Auschwitz and Maidanek. The world should help punish Putin’s villains,» – Mariupol Mayor Vadym Boychenko said.
