Rebuilding Mariupol: Russia's plans for city meet scepticism

A year after taking control of the Ukrainian city of Mariupol, Russia wants to change the face of the city.
The Russian government estimates that rebuilding will cost in excess of $2bn across three years. With the degree of destruction and slow pace of reconstruction, it might be even longer.
Authorities say that more than 1,600 flats have been issued to people with destroyed residences and expect roughly the same number to be issued next year. Locals complained of delays and claimed bribes were necessary to get some paperwork processed.
