Dmytro Lubinets, the Ukrainian Parliament’s Commissioner for Human Rights, has reported that the Russian occupiers have started deleting from Yandex Maps the residential buildings they are demolishing in the occupied city of Mariupol.

Quote: "The Russian forces destroyed a residential building at 33, Azovstalska Street. It has been demolished. It is still visible on Google Maps, but it has been removed from Yandex Maps, and it does not exist in reality…

The Russians are planning to demolish nearly a thousand more residential buildings, which they failed to destroy completely during the siege. In order to hide the consequences of their bombings, they are demolishing residential buildings in the historical district of the city, turning the history of Mariupol in WW2 into rubbish that will be thrown away soon."

Details: According to Lubinets, people from more than 50,000 apartments have lost their homes.

The Commissioner believes that the humanitarian catastrophe caused by the Russians in Mariupol shows that "Russia brings no good, it kills instead of saving, and it takes away instead of helping. It did not come to improve our lives but to take them away".

Quote: "Mariupol is a city where Russia violated all norms of humanitarian law. Even deleting houses from the maps will not help the perpetrators avoid punishment for their crimes."
