Dear residents of Mariupol!
I urge everyone to remain calm and not to succumb to provocations and various kinds of information attacks. What we all expected and feared happened. We again hear explosions around the city.
But now I want to say the main thing briefly. Our Ukrainian army is fulfilling its main mission - protecting the city and Ukraine. Local self-government bodies of Mariupol work and perform their functions, taking into account the defense emergency. Our main task now is to ensure the functioning of emergency services and the life support of the city and to take care of all Mariupol residents.
Due to the current situation in the city, the work of schools, kindergartens and other social infrastructure institutions, except for hospitals and healthcare center, has been temporarily stopped. We also open all shelters in the city.
All utilities and public transport continue to operate.
We are monitoring the situation and will promptly inform you about the situation in the city.
If you have any questions, you can contact Mariupol contact center (15-55, +38 (050) 345 1555, +38 (067) 345 1555) or call 102.
Glory to Ukraine!
