Up to 170,000 people remain in the blocked Mariupol. It has long been impossible to leave the city for the territory controlled by Ukraine – the Russians leave the residents no choice but to agree to deportation to the "DPR" or Russia. Up to 95,000 Mariupol residents are currently being held in special camps in the Russian Far East. Anton (name changed at the request of the interviewee) told hromadske about his journey from Mariupol. He went through filtration, passed through the "DPR", Russia, and Estonia to Poland. And from there he got to Ukraine and went to war to defend his homeland.
