Russia is consolidating its military presence in the occupied city of Mariupol by building a large military base, as satellite photos released by the Maxar company appear to show.
The new U-shaped compound is located near the city center. On the roof of the main building is the red, white and blue star of the Russian army, with letters that read: “For the people of Mariupol”.
Moscow’s forces besieged the city for nearly three months before they managed to break through and capture it.
Ukrainian officials last month estimated that around 25,000 civilians had been killed in the raids, while the UN said it had confirmed the deaths of 1,348 civilians, but stressed that the actual death toll was “likely thousands higher”.
