 Prisoners from Belarus will be taken to Mariupol of Ukraine to work in construction. The Russian invaders are planning to involve prisoners from Belarus, convicted of minor crimes in construction work in the temporarily occupied city of Mariupol. Radio Liberty announced it, referring to Petro Adriushchenko, the advisor to the mayor of Mariupol. We received additional information that it should have been decided that not only Russians would be there. They are going to bring people who have been convicted of minor crimes from Belarus in the near future so that they can also be engaged in construction work on the territory of Mariupol. Adriushchenko said, he said that Russian construction workers who are now arriving on mass in the occupied city no longer hide the fact that they plan to live in Mariupol in the future. For this purpose, Russia has even launched a mortgage program since February that provides for obtaining housing at 2% interest. According to Adriushchenko, Moscow has already held 40 tenders for construction in temporarily occupied cities. The advisor to the mayor of Mariupol did not say under what conditions prisoners from Belarus will be attracted. Russian troops occupied Mariupol in May 2022 after bloody fighting and a prolonged blockade. As a result of Russian strikes, Mariupol has been almost completely destroyed. The UN estimates that about 90% of multi-story residential buildings and about 60% of private homes in the city have been destroyed or damaged.
