The adviser to the mayor of Mariupol, Petro Adriushchenko, informed that Russia is holding about two thousand people in screening camps near the city. According to the mayor, the Russian military will force the prisoners to take part in the march.

“They lack Ukrainian prisoners to hold a big parade. It will be a very strange show with Mariupol residents wearing Ukrainian uniforms to create another propaganda image. The horror in which Mariupol plunges deeper every day and does not end” – added Petro Andriushchenko.

Earlier, there was information that in the city of Tokmak in Zaporizhia Oblast, the Russian invaders began to sew uniforms of the Ukrainian armed forces. The report was confirmed by the operational command of the “Południe” group.

Russia. Prisoners of war will take part in the parade on Red Square?

The main Victory Day celebration will be held on Moscow’s Red Square. According to unofficial information, the Kremlin plans to pass more than 500 Ukrainian POWs through the streets of the Russian capital. Employees of the Federal Prison Service and FSB intelligence units have been assigned to “operational work” with the army from Ukraine.

Public performances of prisoners of war will take place “in front of a shocked audience and through the lens of a camera.” The purpose of such actions was to demonstrate the superiority of the Russian army, but also to try to suppress Ukraine’s desire to actively fight on the front lines.

The final decision on what the parade in Moscow will look like will be announced on May 6, three days before the planned Victory Day celebrations.
