Russian invaders increased the pace of artillery and air strikes on the territory of Azovstal in Mariupol. This was reported by the Institute for War Studies (ISW). “On April 28, Russian troops increased the rate of artillery and air strikes on Ukrainian positions at the Azovstal facility and aimed directly at the Ukrainian field hospital,” the Institute for War Studies said.
Referring to the Mariupol City Council and the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, ISW noted that seven Russian Tu-22 strategic bombers struck the hospital with multi-ton “bunker” bombs. At the same time, it is stated that the Institute for the Study of War alone cannot confirm this information, although Russian troops attacked Ukrainian medical facilities and hospitals throughout the war.
“Deputy Commander of the Azov Regiment, Captain Svyatoslav Palamar, appealed to Kyiv to” take decisive action “against Russian troops, and Ukrainian defenders are probably running out of supplies. Russian troops are expanding their occupation measures against the background of the continuation of Ukrainian guerrilla operations, “ISW added.
They reminded of the statement of Mariupol Mayor's Adviser Petro Andryushchenko that Russian troops pretend to be social workers in order to gather information about the city's residents. At the same time, local government sources report that Russian forces continue to detain Ukrainian civilians en masse.
