During the visit of Russian President Vladimir Putin to Mariupol. Russian Deputy Prime Minister Marat Kusnullin informed him that during the retreat, Ukrainian troops fired at hospitals in the port city. The head of the Kremlin replied that “normal people don’t do that,” the Russian news agency notes Tasse.

TASS writes that Deputy Prime Minister Marat Kusnullin told Putin how the Ukrainian military fired at residential buildings during their retreat from the city.

It is reported that the leader of the Kremlin inspected the new residential areas, which were built by the Russian-imposed authorities in the occupied city of Mariupol after the withdrawal of Ukrainian troops.

Kusnullin said that he visited the hospital immediately after the “liberation of the city” and “saw with his own eyes” that Kyiv troops were mining everything, including corpses and medical equipment.

“Well, these are the so-called Nazis. “Normal people don’t do that (…) Banderivites (I’m not referring to Stepan Bandera, the leader of the nationalist movement in this country before and during the Second World War, who is considered a terrorist in Russia),” Putin commented.

The Deputy Prime Minister also informed Putin that the Armed Forces were hitting houses and that there were no Russian shells in the city.

Russian state media readily note that the occupation authorities are doing “great work” to rebuild the city, which was bombed at the beginning of the war, and that people are getting new turnkey houses.

Kushnullin also explained to Putin that the shopping center is being put up for auction because the owners “fled to Ukraine.”

“It’s their business, nobody takes anything from them,” Putin replied.
