The Ukrainian city of Mariupol is still under siege by Russian forces as civilians still remained trapped at the Azovstal steel plant.

A Ukraine military officer leading the last holdouts in rocket-battered Mariupol pleaded for help evacuating civilians and wounded soldiers as the Russian invasion roared into its 11th week with no end to the carnage in sight. Capt. Sviatoslav Palamar, deputy commander of Ukraine's Azov Regiment, said in a video statement Thursday from the bunkers of a sprawling steel mill that the “wounded soldiers are dying in agony" due to the lack of medical care.
"We call on the world community to evacuate civilians, and I personally appeal to (Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy)," Palamar said, adding that bodies of the dead should be removed so that "Ukrainians can say goodbye to their heroes." Earlier, Zelenskyy said more than 340 civilians had been evacuated from the steel plant serving as the last stand for his military in the city. Elsewhere, Ukrainian forces claimed gains in some territory in the south while repelling Russian attacks in the hotly contested Donbas.

Look who clean this guy’s is . And he’s supposed to be one of the soldiers hiding out underground where they have no food and water.
I call b*******
@Usul573 Do you have an unbiased source with evidence that backs up your claims?
@Barry LaFleur Usul never said Ukraine evacuated the survivors. All he said was “some people safely evacuated”. So for you to state “they were evacuated by Russia, not Ukraine” is kind of random since it has nothing to do with what he said.
Also idk if they received supplies, but it hasn’t been a secret that many countries have been trying to discreetly supply Mariupol and Azovstal. I assume what he meant was the possibility of them actually receiving said supplies, but nobody has confirmed that yet.
I don’t think he was claiming anything. He was asking more about your sources than he was claiming anything. Only claim I saw was the “6 months of food” which I never heard about. I heard 3 months and so far they’ve lasted 2 months so now would be the time they’d run low if the 3 months was accurate.
@Austin Smith The media fails to mention who evacuated them. ” I don’t know but people are saying and I assume” adds nothing to the conversation.
@Barry LaFleur I mean I saw video of soldiers with white armbands (Russians) pulling people out of rubble but who knows when or where that was. But yeah that’s true, baseless opinion adds nothing. Only problem is, that’s all anyone has to go off of since fog of war and what not.
People can still have a good conversation about what you think or assume, but only when opinions aren’t treated as fact which seems to elude most people.
Way too clean and way too nourished. SHAME TO UKRAINE! Слава РОССИИ!
GOTT WITH AZOV!
