Russia building 'refugee camp' for Belgorod residents in Mariupol

18 June 2024, 08:45 PM

Russian occupation authorities are building a “refugee camp” in occupied Mariupol, Donetsk Oblast, to accommodate residents of Russia’s Belgorod Oblast, Mariupol mayoral adviser Petro Andryushchenko reported on June 18. 

According to him, Energobudproekt LLC is the contractor responsible for the construction, based on an existing children’s summer camp.

Meanwhile, many Mariupol residents remain homeless, as much of the city was destroyed in the siege of the city in early 2022, Andryushchenko noted.

“What strange games of fate; Belgorod residents, who cheered at Mariupol being destroyed, are now hiding in Mariupol from their own war,” Andryushchenko said in a Telegram post.

“This clearly shows Russia’s attitude — homeless Mariupol residents have neither priority nor importance compared to the 'real' Russians.”

The military war may be swinging in our favor, but the information war continues.

Just as an army needs soldiers, so does a free society need its journalists to ensure that people have access to honest, trustworthy voices to understand the world around them.

For the past five years, The New Voice of Ukraine has been working tirelessly to push back against Russian narratives and defend democracy. But we cannot do it alone.
