By the end of the year, more than 10,000 people may die in Mariupol from diseases and unbearable conditions.. According to the mayor of the city Vadim Boychenko, now there are about 150-170 thousand people in Mariupol. This was reported by the Mariupol city council.

“The invaders turned Mariupol into a medieval ghetto. So mortality will be appropriate. Without medicines and medical care, the resumption of water supply and serviceable sewerage, epidemics will break out in the city,” Boychenko said..

According to him, now most of the population that remains in the city are elderly people and sick people..

“Without proper conditions, mortality among vulnerable categories will increase many times,” said the mayor of the city.

He added that part of Mariupol residents from nearby villages returned to the city because they are not allowed to enter the territory of free Ukraine due to a tough filtration system..

“But the Russians continue the genocide that they started on February 24. Our people are in mortal danger. Therefore, a complete evacuation of the city is needed, ”Boichenko emphasized..
