Today's attempt to evacuate civilians from Mariupol was again thwarted, Mariupol Mayor's adviser Petr Andryushchenko said on Telegram.
Andryushchenko writes that at 11 o’clock at the declared assembly point for evacuation there were at least 200 Mariupol residents waiting to be sent to Zaporozhye.
However, instead of the buses promised by the Russian side, the Russian military drove up to the residents of Mariupol, who ordered them to disperse, "
In fact, people were dispersed by force, and the promised buses were never brought up.
At the same time, the occupiers filed several buses to land 200 meters from the agreed evacuation point.. It was announced to the residents of Mariupol who got on the buses that the evacuation would only be to Dokuchaevsk, that is, to the occupied territory. People were not given the opportunity to get off the buses, Andryushchenko claims.
