In Ukraine, the martyr city of Mariupol is surrounded by Russian troops. One of the Ukrainian soldiers entrenched in the city has launched a vibrant appeal, in which he asks the international community to come to their aid.
How much longer will the fierce battle in the Mariupol steel complex (Ukraine) last? Indomitable Ukrainian fighters have been entrenched there for several days. One of them, commander of the 36th Marine Brigade, appealed in a video message on Wednesday, April 20: “We may be living our last days, even our last hours. The enemy is ten times more numerous than us. (…) We call on world leaders to help us.”
A thousand civilians would also be trapped in the hellhole of this besieged factory. Russian television broadcasts images of exhausted residents. They had just evacuated the area through a humanitarian corridor. For the first time since April 16, Moscow and kyiv have reached an agreement to allow the evacuation of civilians. Deputy Mayor of Mariupol Sergei Orlov, however, believes that Russia “will not keep his word”.
