Ukraine needs heavy weapons.
President Volodymyr Zelenskyi states that he is currently temporarily unblocking occupied Mariupol by military means is impossible. He made the statement during a joint press conference with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau in Kyiv. “It is impossible to unblock the city of Mariupol by military means. It is impossible today,” Zelensky said. He also noted that Russia returns troops only in case of captivity during the exchange.
The President stressed that Ukraine currently does not have such heavy weapons that would allow to unblock the city.
Also Zelensky noted that Azovstal managed to evacuate all civilians, but the Russians “do not want to release our military.”
Mediators from Turkey, Switzerland, Israel, France, the United Nations, and the Red Cross tried to resolve the issue, but Russia refused. “Russia changes the military only if they are prisoners – for prisoners. This is the situation. This is the answer that is from the Russian Federation. There are no other answers,” – said Zelensky.
We will remind, earlier “Azov” Azovstal, surrounded by the occupiers, said what is needed to liberate Mariupol . They are convinced that the best support for the liberation of Mariupol may be the right actions of the Ukrainian military command for the defense of the south.
