Mariupol Mayor's Office refused to go over to the side of Russia and surrender the city, adviser to the mayor of Mariupol Petro Andriuschenko wrote on Facebook.

"They say the Russians are offering the mayor's office of Mariupol to go over to the side of Russia," he wrote. According to Andriuschenko, the local authorities 'were given time' until morning to formulate a response.

"And why wait so long if the answer is ready in advance. F*ck you, not Mariupol," the mayor's adviser wrote.

The invaders forcibly take the residents of Mariupol to the Russian Federation and ORDLO. At the same time, Ukrainian passports are taken away from people.
