In occupied Berdiansk, people booed the occupiers: invaders withdrew equipment from the center
Residents of temporarily occupied Berdiansk protested and booed out armed Russian servicemen
Residents of the city told Hromadske.
Residents shouted at the armed Russian military: "go home," "f*ck off," and "Berdiansk is Ukraine."
Negotiations between the invaders and former deputy Serhii Valentyrov took place.
The occupiers agreed to withdraw military equipment from the building of the executive committee, so as not to "irritate the residents" and leave Ukrainian flags at all institutions.
The aggressors also promised to completely vacate the building of the executive committee from the inside so that local authorities and services could work – without any supervision or control of the occupiers.
Instead, local medical institutions referring to "medical etiquette" agreed to treat "everyone," and the occupiers pledged to ensure access to food in the city through checkpoints.
"This military police [occupiers who are in the city] are faced with the fact that there are no soldiers in the city. Instead, there are civilians in the city who will not be controlled by anyone but their conscience, heart, and brain. Therefore, everyone does what they see fit. If they do not empty the executive committee building tomorrow, we will also absolve ourselves of responsibility," the former deputy told residents.
He also added that the occupiers warned that in the event of resistance, the city would be flooded by "troops with a large aggressive contingent."
"They did not come with peace. They came with a sword; they will die from this sword in any case," the former deputy stressed.
We remind that on February 27 the acting mayor of Berdiansk Oleksandr Svidlo declared that the Russian occupiers captured all administrative buildings of the city. He ensured the authorities remain on the ground and are trying to work.
Adviser to the head of the Security Service Oleksiy Arestovych confirmed that Berdiansk is under the control of the occupiers – our troops were not there.
Two people were injured during the operation to capture the city: one was killed and the other was wounded. According to current information, the victims are security guards of the "Berdianski Zhnyvarky" enterprise.
The Berdyansk police department has already been disbanded. The city authorities refused to cooperate with the occupiers. Some utilities are working. Public transport stopped.
