- Russians smuggled more than 30,000 migrants into Mariupol - CNS


Russians continue to bring migrants from Central Asia to the seized territories of Ukraine. In particular, the number of migrants in temporarily occupied Mariupol has exceeded 30,000 people.
This was reported by the Centre for National Resistance (CNR).
The number of workers from Central Asia and the North Caucasus is growing in the temporarily occupied territories of Donetsk Region. First of all, this concerns the south of the region, in particular the temporarily occupied Mariupol, where more than 30,000 migrants already live," the Centre for National Resistance said.
It is noted that they are ready to work for low wages at construction sites sponsored by the occupation administration. At the same time in the temporarily occupied territories the unemployment rate is growing. In some districts of the TOT of Donetsk region it has reached 50 per cent among local residents.
The CNS added that by importing migrants, the occupiers are trying to change the demographic composition of the temporarily occupied territories. After all, the Russians, thanks to their policy, force the locals to leave because of unemployment and humanitarian catastrophe. In their place come migrants loyal to the Russian Federation.
Earlier Socialportal reported that migrants brought to the TOT create criminal ethnic groups, which provokes an increase in the crime situation.
