In Mariupol, the occupiers completely filled up the Kalmius River, and diverted the water supply through a pipe.

This could become a real ecological and natural catastrophe for both the city and the Sea of Azov, the adviser to the mayor of Mariupol, Petro Andryushchenko, reported in Telegram.

"Crime upon crime against humanity. Not with bombs, but with excavators. It is even difficult to imagine the damage," he emphasized.

The river was filled up during the repair of one of the bridges in the Kalmius district of the city.

Earlier, Andryushchenko said that the flow of the river is almost completely stopped, because of which the flora and fauna of Kalchik are doomed to perish. In addition, it will increase the salinity of the sea, thus creating favorable conditions for jellyfish and causing significant damage to fish populations.

As Ecopolitic previously reported, in Mariupol, in Donetsk region, the occupation authorities dismantled a brick mini-dam on the Kalchyk River, which protected the river from waterlogging. Now the flow of the river has slowed down, its waters have become gray-green in color and have a strong smell of decay, and Kalchik itself has begun to turn into a swamp.
