The situation in the city remains as dire as possible, it must be resolved immediately.
Situation in Mariupol > remains as harsh and inhumane as possible, and the blame for this lies entirely with Russia, said Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky during his daily address.
“The situation in Mariupol remains as harsh as possible. Just inhuman. This is what the Russian Federation made it. Deliberately did. And deliberately continues to destroy cities. He is deliberately trying to destroy everyone who is there in Mariupol, “he said.
Zelensky also confirmed that it can be resolved either militarily or diplomatically. But in both cases, the decisive role should be played by Ukraine's partners.
“Or the partners will give Ukraine all the necessary heavy weapons, planes, and, without exaggeration, immediately. So that we can reduce the pressure of the occupiers on Mariupol and unblock it. Or – a negotiating path, in which the role of partners should also be decisive, “the President said.
The President also assured that the authorities remain in touch with the defenders of Mariupol. Following a previous statement, Azov Regiment fighters said they had not been in contact with Kyiv for two weeks.
