A Telegram message from Petro Andriushchenko, adviser to the Mayor of Mariupol, translated via Google:
‼️Mariupol. Importantly. The occupiers are preparing a "live shield" from Mariupol. The other day we received information from citizens about the start of fortification and construction work in the interval between the Azovsky market and the building of the former OBI supermarket. Later, the occupying authorities began cautious announcements in response to the question that this is the construction of "modular homes for homeless Mariupol." We have checked all this information and here is what we can say now based on information from several sources around the occupation authorities of Mariupol and Mariupol district: Indeed, the occupation authorities are planning to build fast-moving multi-story buildings using technology similar to the construction of shopping centers such as the Metro. Actually - a temporary metal booth like a large change house. However, this is not the main thing. A few hundred meters from the houses, the occupiers are preparing a line of defense, including the digging of heavy equipment. This arrangement of fortifications makes it impossible to strike artillery at the fortifications of the occupiers. Rage. just angry
This message formed the basis for an article from Ukrainska Pravada. Andriushchenko attached these images to the post. We are unable to find outside confirmation; however, that is not necessarily an indication this isn’t true.
