“The Russians are preparing for a victory parade on May 9 here”

Experts organizing the march have arrived in Mariupol –

Technicians and experts had already arrived in the Mariupol region to organize the event. So a possible failure of such an order “would be a severe blow” to Konstantin Ivashenko, the self-proclaimed pro-Russian mayor of the city, who before the invasion was a city councillor and was already a city councilor, added Petro Andryushenko.

Mariupol, however, has not yet fallen.
