According to the official, the invaders began to form "volunteer battalions" in the captured territories of Ukraine, where Russians and Ukrainians who received passports of the Russian Federation were taken away. However, such initiatives are not observed in Mariupol. According to Andryushchenko, in the occupied city only recently started the first stage of mobilization to the Russian army. In addition, Mariupols try to recruit Wagner PEC, but few of the local residents are interested in this.
According to the mayor advisor, coercion to military service that threatens the lives of people is not observed in the city. "There are some reasons for that," Andryushchenko said. The official states that the main restraining factor for the Russians is the level of distrust of the inhabitants of Mariupol, which is higher than in the occupied parts of Zaporizhzhya and Kherson regions. "Probably, so they are not in a hurry because they think it can do more harm than help.
Let's see how it will happen next," the adviser said. We will remind that on May 15 the adviser to the mayor of the temporarily occupied Mariupol of Donetsk region Petro Andryushchenko showed how the Russians are preparing for the defense of the city. The invaders arranged moats, concrete fortifications, and masked fire points. Earlier, on May 10, we reported that in the summer of 2023 Mariupol could be left without fresh water.
