The relevant statement was made by Advisor to Mariupol Mayor Petro Andriushchenko on Telegram, an Ukrinform correspondent reports.
“Russians continue attempts to seize or block the exits from bunkers. Most ground operations are carried out by them within the plant’s area. There is no global advance and, thus, the density of shelling is increasing,” Andriushchenko wrote.
In his words, the information about Ukrainian defenders who ‘came out with white flags’ is another fake produced by the Russian side.
A reminder that about 600 seriously wounded Ukrainian servicemen are remaining trapped in bomb shelters within the Mariupol-based Azovstal plant. They cannot receive medical aid due to the lack of drugs and medics. Russian troops are continuously launching strikes on the Azovstal plant with all kinds of weapons and attempting to storm.
