Quote from Mariupol residents: "Our homes have been demolished and mortgage housing is being built in their place while we’ve been struggling for three years, living in rented apartments and dormitories."

Details: Residents say that compensation housing projects have been halted and the city's pseudo-administration ignores all complaints and requests.

Local residents say that Russians not only demolished their homes but also annulled the legal addresses where they lived.

The Mariupol City Council reports that many residents, in desperation, have resorted to recording video appeals, but the occupation authorities have not responded.

Background: Russian forces destroyed half of Mariupol's residential buildings during the blockade. More than 300 additional buildings have been demolished during the occupation.
