The city of Mariupol still faces fierce fighting, Saturday April 16. Ukrainians engaged in the defense of their city withdrawn to a metallurgical site located by the sea, the last pocket of resistance.
Missile batteries move into position around Mariupol (Ukraine), Saturday April 16. For two days, the Russians and the separatists have been deploying for a new offensive. Their goal is to reach the huge complex industrialist in the city, where Ukrainian fighters have entrenched themselves. The bombardments alternate with automatic weapon fire. “Of course when that bombard, it’s scary“, confides a resident located only a hundred meters fights.
The targeted factory stretches for miles by the sea. It’s the last big
poached of resistance to Mariupol, after Ukrainian soldiers surrendered.
Ukraine has just recognized it, while minimizing the number of these soldiers.
“We don’t go any further than in front of our house“, declares a resident, cloistered in
the cellars.
