People in Mariupol have access to drinking water once a week

This was told by the adviser to the mayor of Mariupol, Petr Andryushchenko, on the air of the Espresso TV channel.

"Now the biggest problem is drinking water. The main cause of this problem is the summer heat. In Mariupol, drinking water is taken from a natural source, which is not of very good quality anyway. Due to the summer heat, the water level in this source has decreased and, in fact, if drinking Water was available to people once every two days, but now it is only once a week. There is less water, it is not being delivered actively," Andryushchenko said.

He also added that the occupying authorities are exhuming the bodies in order to create a picture that they are all right.

They dig people up and take them to a makeshift morgue near the Metro shopping center. Further, when they collect a large number of bodies of the dead, they are simply thrown into mass graves. Nobody keeps any records. They treat people like trash. These are just terrible things," Andryushchenko added.
