The occupiers are demolishing the historic center of Mariupol near the "Peremoha" movie theater
In the temporarily occupied city of Mariupol, Russian authorities continue to demolish buildings in the city center. In particular, a structure near the "Pobeda" movie theater, which is part of the historic district, has been demolished.
This was reported by the Mariupol City Council.
According to available information, the occupiers demolished the building located across from the "Peremoha" cinema.
The cinema itself, which is the oldest in the city, has been in ruins for four years following the Russian invasion.
The "Peremoha" cinema was opened at the beginning of the 20th century and survived both world wars.
However, the building did not withstand the fighting during Russia’s full-scale invasion.
Local residents report that a significant portion of Mariupol’s historic center lies in ruins.
According to Mariupol residents, the occupying authorities are doing almost nothing to restore the destroyed infrastructure.
Instead, the main focus is on the construction of new residential neighborhoods, including mortgage housing.
The occupation administration previously announced its intention to demolish a large plot in the city’s Central District.
They plan to build cottages on the site, which will be intended for buyers from Russia.
The occupiers have established the first “Youth Armyclass” at a Mariupol school.
As a reminder, Russia is building the largest military-patriotic center, “Warrior,” in Mariupol.
Also, in occupied Mariupol, tram tracks were dismantled due to a lack of electricity.
