A third of the residents who left earlier to the Kiev-controlled territory returned to Mariupol, said the adviser to the mayor of the city appointed by the Ukrainian authorities Petro Andryushchenko.
Verkhovna Rada Commissioner for Human Rights Dmytro Lubinets said in the second half of October that more and more IDPs are deciding to return to Russian-controlled territories. He cited the socio-economic problems people face in Ukraine as the reason.
‘The reason is the lack of sufficient support and solution of the housing issue on the territory of Ukraine. People banally have nowhere to live,’ the Ukrainian edition of Strana quoted Petro Andryushchenko as saying.
According to him, even if people work, they do not have enough money to pay for rented housing.
Mariupol in the DPR was taken under control by Russian servicemen in April 2022, after which the reconstruction of the city began. In August, the head of the region Denis Pushilin noted that within a year after the liberation of Mariupol, thanks to the serious work of builders, became a completely different city.
We shall remind you that earlier the head of Zaporizhzhya region Yevhen Balitsky said that the construction of a railway that will connect Rostov-on-Don and Crimea through Berdyansk and Mariupol has begun in the new regions. According to him, this route will become a semblance of a double of the Crimean bridge, and an aviation hub will be created on the basis of Melitopol airfield.
