The Ukrainian intelligence reported that the Russians had developed a "concept for the development of Mariupol." This plan envisages the full integration of Mariupol into the "DPR", with the prospect of joining into Russia.
The population of Mariupol, which before the Russian aggression amounted to half a million inhabitants, according to the plans of the Rashists, should "grow" to 200 thousand by 2025.
In the future, within a few years, transport and social infrastructure should appear in the city destroyed by the Russians.
A separate section is devoted to the "Azovstal" plant, several scenarios have been devised for its "development", among them:
- Fill the underground part of "Azovstal" with garbage, arrange a park and create agricultural land.
- Create a park and develop tourist and recreational areas.
The entire project, depending on the chosen "reconstruction" option, is allocated from 8 to 42 years. The costs are more than 60 billion Russian rubles.
- Mariupol was defended for 82 days, the defenders of the city concentrated the enemyʼs forces at the “Azovstal” plant until the last, in order to buy time for the Armed Forces in other directions and positions. On May 16, the evacuation of soldiers from the plant began. They were transported to occupied Olenivka. Further, with the assistance of Ukrainian Intelligence and international organizations, they should be exchanged. Currently, the occupiers are taking the surviving vehicles, as well as steel and various equipment, from Mariupol to Donetsk. Meanwhile, no one cares about the improvement of the city.
