Enemy manpower massively deployed through Mariupol in direction of Berdiansk

In Mariupol, temporarily captured by the Russian army, a massive transfer of enemy manpower and ammunition through the city in the direction of Berdiansk is being recorded.

Advisor to the mayor of Mariupol Petro Andriushchenko said this on Telegram and posted a video, Ukrinform reports.

"We are recording another large transfer of manpower and ammunition through Mariupol in the direction of Berdiansk. More than 20 trucks and engineering vehicles in columns have been spotted. No movement of "heavy equipment" such as tanks was recorded during the day," Andriushchenko wrote. 

He noted that a monitoring campaign was conducted to track Russian military accounts in Mariupol's groups on social media. As a result of the analysis, it can be said that the vast majority of them have been updated within five days to two weeks.

"There is an interesting trend: out of 100% of accounts that were spotted in Mariupol after being transferred to the frontline according to the analytical hypothesis, at least 40% disappear from the network forever. This may correlate with the dynamics of Russian losses. Good statistics," the mayor's adviser added.

As reported, the Russian invaders are turning Mariupol and the surrounding villages into a military and logistics hub.
