Home by Home, Russia Is Selling Occupied Ukraine to Russians

In a brochure, the property developer touts the “majestic style” of the building’s architecture and its prime location just a 15-minute walk from the sea, adding a caveat: It was damaged during “military events.”

The building that once stood there was in fact demolished by developers after Russia conquered Mariupol in a brutal onslaught that killed thousands of people and devastated the Ukrainian port city’s housing stock.

Buying property in an active combat zone that may end up not being Russian property in the future.

Then proclaim it as ruzzia.. putin has said said as much.. He wants to de populate the Ukraine.. Wipe out the Ukraine population...When ever the ruzzians conquer a territory they populate it with ethnic ruzzians...Like the Eastern part of ruzzia that was ethnically chinese.. They took it and moved ruzzians in..
Guess what... China wants it back..
