Russians moving military equipment through Mariupol toward Berdiansk

Russian invaders continue to drive their military equipment through Mariupol: on July 9, a large convoy of equipment and five buses carrying military personnel left for the temporarily captured Berdiansk and the front line.

Petro Andriushchenko, the adviser to the Mariupol mayor, reported this on Telegram, as seen by Ukrinform.

"Yesterday, after 13:00 local time, a large convoy of V-marked equipment and five buses carrying military personnel, which had entered Mariupol the day before, left for the city of Berdiansk. Also, part of the military equipment from the storage sites across Mariupol joined the convoy," wrote the official.

As reported by Ukrinform, at the Mariupol port, the occupiers resumed imports of fuel and military equipment and the exports of looted goods. Ammunition depots are located in residential areas.

Russia's aggression has caused one of the biggest humanitarian disasters in Mariupol. The city has been almost completely destroyed by enemy shelling, including local enterprises, utility infrastructure, schools, kindergartens, hospitals, and residential buildings.

Today, Mariupol has no normal supply of electricity, water, and gas. Since the Russian invasion, about 22,000 civilians have been killed in the city. More than 50,000 have been deported to Russia and the temporarily occupied territories of Donetsk region.

Currently, more than 100,000 residents remain in the blocked city. Mariupol is facing an ecological disaster and an outbreak of infectious diseases.
