Details: The Russian occupiers decided that many of the buildings in the city they had destroyed were "unsuitable for rebuilding due to the reduced strength of building materials and supporting structures".

Such buildings are being demolished in four districts of Mariupol.

A shredding machine was brought to the occupiers; it will grind "construction waste" into concrete chips, which are then used in road construction.

Why this is important: Dozens, if not hundreds, of thousands of civilians were killed in Mariupol.

Many bodies may have remained under the rubble of the buildings, and could be ground into sand.
