Apartments are being sold where destroyed Mariupol homes once stood: who profits from the occupation

Tens of thousands of people lost their homes after Russian shelling of the city in 2022. Many still cannot obtain the compensation promised by the “authorities.” At the same time, businessmen and politicians close to the Russian authorities are earning billions of rubles from the construction of new housing.

As Vot Tak found, one of the main beneficiaries of development in Mariupol is oligarch Vladimir Yevtushenkov. A company linked to him is building residential complexes in the city on the sites of demolished homes. In addition, his company received more than 26.5 billion rubles ($307 million) from VTB Bank for construction in occupied Ukrainian cities.

Another major player is United Russia member Sergey Kolunov. The politician’s company is building more housing in Mariupol than any other developer. At the same time, Kolunov himself is deputy chairman of the State Duma committee on construction. This year he is running for election again.

➡ Vot Tak found out who is profiting from construction in the occupied parts of Donetsk, Luhansk, Zaporizhzhia, and Kherson regions. Full details are in the article on our website.
