In the occupied Mariupol, in the Donetsk region, the removal of household waste has once again stopped.
The city is turning into a solid landfill again, as in the summer of 2022, the adviser to the mayor of Mariupol Petro Andryushchenko reports on Telegram.
"After the "bravura standoffs" and beautiful pictures about the new garbage cans and the garbage trucks received from St. Petersburg at the end of the summer, Mariupol has again turned into a solid garbage dump," Andryushchenko wrote.
He said that the occupiers stopped taking out household waste, concentrating on the removal of construction waste from the demolition of buildings. Household waste is removed as often as once a week.
"The conclusion is clear. The entire environment quickly turned into a branch of the garbage dump. The city is again rapidly degrading to the state of spring-summer 2022. The occupation is what it is," Andryushchenko emphasized.
Earlier, EcoPolitic wrote, that in June 2022 the streets of Russian-occupied Mariupol, Donetsk region, were filled with almost 9,000 tons of garbage, which not exported from February.
As EcoPolitic previously reported, in Donetsk region in the Mariupol district, the Russian occupiers are planning restore kaolin mining, and also start zirconium mining. The consequences of such mining will be critical for the ecology of the entire area.
