Russia promotes vacations in war-torn Mariupol - Break the Fake - TVP WORLD



Russian propagandists are now advertising Mariupol as a "vacation spot" on the Sea of Azov, calling it "beautiful but expensive." But behind the glossy words lies the grim reality: Mariupol is a destroyed city, scarred by war, bombed out neighborhoods, mass civilian casualties, and a deep humanitarian tragedy.

In a new episode of Break The Fake, Jonasz Rewiński breaks down how Kremlin propaganda tries to sell war-torn ruins as "resort," obliterating the truth just like they obliterated trees in the city.
