Forget the propaganda - Mariupol is a gritty industrial city with a population of just 120,000, down from 425,000 before the war. Nearly 90% of the residential buildings have been damaged or destroyed, and the environmental damage from heavy industry is severe. Bureaucracy is a persistent headache, and the city's location near the conflict zone raises safety concerns. This war-scarred city is not for the faint of heart.
