Grozny and Mariupol are now twin cities. The agreement was signed by the mayor of the Chechen capital, Khas-Magomed Kadyrov, and the head of the occupation authorities in Mariupol, Oleg Morgun. It happened in Mariupol during a business trip of members of the Chechen government to Donbass.
Partner Cities – Putin’s satirical game
According to the agreement, Mariupol and Grozny established commercial, economic, scientific, artistic, social and cultural cooperation.
Although the goals look commendable, it is enough to watch the recording from the moment the contract was signed to see that even the representative of Chechnya himself understands the absurdity of this situation. Kadyrov keeps a serious expression on his face and only looks at him once – when his name is read. Then he starts staring at the pen in his hands again.
The authorities of the Donetsk People’s Republic and Chechnya said in a joint statement that About the experience of Chechnya in removing the effects of warwhich are already used in DRL, are showing positive results in areas such as housing, utilities, road construction and social facilities.

Mariupol is like Grozny
The Russians captured Mariupol on May 20, 2022. After a three-month siege. Ukrainian authorities say that up to 90 percent of the buildings were destroyed during the fighting. civil buildings.
Having captured the city, the occupiers quickly proceeded The rubble was demolished, and the bodies of the dead Ukrainians were often buried in this way. “They work day and night, removing (evidence) of war crimes,” Vadym Boychenko, the Ukrainian mayor of Mariupol, said a few months ago.

Ukrainian authorities believe that tens of thousands of people may have died there during the siege of Mariupol, and that the survivors are living in appalling humane conditions. Medicines and basic supplies have been missing since the beginning of the occupation.
Grozny was in a similar situation. The capital of Chechnya was destroyed during two Chechen wars, including the storming of the city by Russian forces in the winter of 1994/1995.. When the invaders entered the ruined city on February 6, they immediately raised the Russian flag in the center. Later on, buildings and even entire districts were systematically destroyed.
