Children of prisoners of Mariupol ask that their fathers are not killed

Children of Ukrainian soldiers who are enclosed in the besieged steelworks in Mariupol have asked for their fathers to live while Russia intensifies its bombing of the fortress.

And although Russian officials said that all civilians had now been evacuated from the destroyed and cut fortress, a consultant of the Mayor of Mariupol said that 100 people with around 1,000 Ukrainian soldiers were still in it.

The video showed 13 children aged up to 11 years of age who read prepared lines.

"My mother has not smiled since the beginning of the war," said nine -year -old Andrej. "She cries all the time because she is worried about my father."

A protest in Kiev followed by up to 50 wives of the soldiers on Friday, which demanded that the Ukrainian government have negotiations with Russia to achieve its release.

Last month, Russian President Vladimir Putin said live on television to his Defense Minister that he should not storm the steelworks because taking the network from tunnels and towers would be an expensive mission. But whether he changed his opinion or meant his statement as a list, the last few defenders in the steel mill said that the Russian attacks were intensified.

Food rations on a minimum

"We don't have much time; we have been under intensive shelling," said Captain Swjatoslaw Palamar, a deputy commander of the Ukrainian ASOW battalion, on Sunday at an online press conference.

The steel steel steel works are catastrophic. Photos published online on Tuesday showed seriously injured Ukrainian soldiers who were patched up with associations and wires. A man had a strongly swollen face that was littered with stitches.

civilians who have fled said that the food rations were on a minimum because several people tried to survive with a small cup of noodles per day.

and Petro Andryushchenko, a Mayor of Mariupol, wrote in the Telegram messaging app that some civilians were still in the steel mill.

"In addition to the military, at least 100 civilians remain in the (Azovstal) accommodations. However, this does not reduce the intensity of the attacks' attacks," he said.
