Death rate in Mariupol has multiplied

The death rate among civilians in Russian-occupied Mariupol, Donetsk Region, has risen sharply. The Centre for National Resistance has said this.

The organization said that the death rate among residents of occupied Mariupol from natural causes is now 2.6 times higher than during the coronavirus pandemic.

We are talking about at least 400 people per week," the CNS specified.

The Centre for National Resistance explains this situation by the fact that the occupiers are forcing the doctors who work in the city to primarily serve Russian soldiers, collaborators and those who have Russian passports. Those with Ukrainian passports are not able to receive medical assistance on time.

The situation is complicated by the fact that those who have not received a Russian passport are denied medical care. occupiers prohibit medical workers from treating such people," the report said.

It should be noted that on May 20, 2022, Russian invaders occupied Mariupol, Donetsk Region, which the Ukrainian defenders defended for several months. Of the 400,000 people who lived there before the Russian invasion, about 120,000 remained in the city, while tens of thousands of Mariupol residents were killed.
