Ukrainian authorities have learned of russia's plans to hold a parade on May 9 in Mariupol. This will happen if the "special operation" succeeds.
The adviser to the mayor of Mariupol Petro Andryushchenko reported about it.
According to our information, Ivashchenko ("self-proclaimed" mayor of Mariupol - ed.) received an order to clean part of the Central district of the city from debris and the bodies of the dead to ensure the parade on May 9. Apparently, the invaders plan to hold the "Carnival of Victory" in Mariupol on May 9 in case of the "special operation" success, - Andryushchenko wrote in telegram.
According to him, there are no equipment or people in the city to hold such events.
"Therefore, the potential failure of such an order, of course, leads to a reduction in the validity of Gauleiter Ivashchenko," - the mayor's adviser added.
On April 1, NSDC Secretary Alexei Danilov spoke of putin's task of ending the war by May 9 with a "victory parade".
