Russian Occupation Forces Ready to Hand Over Mariinka: Latest Updates on the Russian Invasion of Ukraine

“The Russian occupation forces are ready to hand over the eastern Ukrainian town of Mariinka, which was captured last year without a fight,” the Kyiv publication “Censor” reported.

“At least 80% of the personnel of the aggressors’ unit stationed there expressed their readiness to withdraw from the city in order not to give victims,” ​​the media added.

“Censor” also pointed out that these are data published by a Russian propagandist. “Probably not only 80% of the personnel are ready to surrender Mariinka without a fight,” the publication suggested.

Today, Deputy Minister of Defense of Ukraine Anna Malyar spoke to journalists in Kyiv. “In one day, we advanced 20 kilometers near (the eastern city of) Bakhmut. Fighting in the city itself continues,” she said, as quoted by the Ukrainskaya Pravda newspaper.

“The enemy has intensified artillery shelling and aerial bombardment against the Kharkiv, Sumy and Chernihiv regions bordering Russia. The targets are kindergartens, schools and hospitals. Moscow grossly violates international legal norms. It kills and injures civilians and destroys non-military infrastructure,” Malyar added. .

The Deputy Minister added: The purpose of these and other attacks, in addition to terrorizing the civilian population, is to keep the units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine under pressure.
