Mariupol has remained under constant heavy fire since the beginning of the full-scale Russian invasion. The occupiers are literally wiping the city from the face of the earth and destroying its inhabitants with special cruelty. There is no water, heating, heat or light in the city, people are forced to constantly hide in shelters without the opportunity to get food and water.
The Russian military is blocking the humanitarian corridors offered to Ukraine, instead offering exhausted people to go to Russia. On March 21, the occupiers offered to open the corridors so that the military and civilians could go out with them and lay down their arms. Ukraine refused to hand over the city .
Not achieving the desired, the Russian Federation began to forcibly remove people from the city . Ukrainians are brought to filtration camps, where documents are taken away. After that they are taken to work in distant regions of the Russian Federation. Such actions of the occupiers are a war crime.
