🇷🇺 HOME SWEET HOME: Deputy PM of Russia - Marat Khusnullin - advises Putin that thousands of residents of Mariupol (Donetsk Republic, ex-Ukraine) are actively returning to their homes.

Khusnullin notes there is a lot of destruction still and there are many (self-made) memorials around the city. 🗣 "The Administration wasn't sure whether to remove them in order to restore the city square, however a decision was made to keep them in one way or another."

🚌 Khusnullin stresses that the city intends to launch the first public transportation routes by summer (June-August) and infrastructure that Ukraine was not maintaining will be upgraded.

Prior to the conflict, Mariupol was one of the largest cities in Ukraine, a busy industrial hub and a tourist hotspot on the shores of the Sea of Azov - with a population of a half a million people, but also a stronghold of the Neo-Nazi Azov Regiment (formerly Battalion - Kiev's main fighting force.)

Up to 100k refused to leave their homes and remained in war-torn Mariupol, with little working infrastructure or running water, besides what was available via humanitarian aid from Russia.

Thanks for the useless information 😂...While Western countries do not recognize the jurisdiction of the ICC themselves, yet we are somehow assured Putin doesn't have a trip to Germany scheduled any time soon.
