Фейк Those Mariupol residents who remain in the city are criminals, so they will be detained by Ukrainian law enforcement officers while trying to cross the checkpoint in Ukraine
Such messages are spread on social networks and state that people captured in the temporarily occupied territory will be recognized as criminals in Ukraine. So that they will be detained at checkpoints immediately; however, it is a lie. As Mariupol Mayor's Adviser Petro Andryushchenko explains, Mariupol residents are citizens of Ukraine and are not prosecuted. "We are fighting every day for a general evacuation for all Mariupol residents. And our big house in Ukraine is waiting for everyone with gentle hugs. In addition, four municipal centers, "YaMariupol," are already working separately for each Mariupol resident to provide the full range of assistance and adaptation during the temporary evacuation, "Andryushchenko wrote. Russia needs such fakes to shake up the situation in the city further and convince Mariupol residents not even to try to evacuate to the unoccupied part of Ukraine.
