Morning meeting in Ukraine: Thousands are threatened in Mariupol by Cholera and Deadly Diseases

cholera and other fatal diseases could kill thousands of people in the South Ukrainian city of Mariupol, as corpses are not picked up and the summer brings warmer weather, said the mayor on Friday.

Mayor Vadym Boichenko said that the fountains were contaminated by the corpses of people who were killed during the weeks of Russian bombing and siege, and that the collection of corpses by the city's Russian occupiers slowly progresses.

"There is an outbreak from Ruhr and Cholera. Unfortunately, this is the assessment of our doctors: that the war, which has been over 20,000 inhabitants

here is what happened overnight.

1. Ukraine advocates more weapons in the east

The Ukraine asked the western countries for faster arms deliveries, since the better armed Russian armed forces continue to bomb the east of the country.

in Sewerodonezk, the small town, which has become the focus of the Russian advance in eastern Ukraine, further violent fights were reported overnight.

The war in the east is now primarily an artillery slaughter in which Kiev is very inferior, say Ukrainian civil servants.

This means that the sheet of events can only be turned if Washington and other western nations make their promises to send more weapons, including rocket systems.

"This is now an artillery war," Vadym Skibitsky, deputy head of the Ukrainian military secret service, told The Guardian.

2. Russia refers to anti-torture group as "foreign agents"

Russia has a non -governmental organization that fights for the investigation of allegations of torture, referred to as "foreign agents" to silence critics in the country.

The name of the committee against torture appeared on the updated list of the institutions of the Ministry of Justice.

The notorious label, which is reminiscent of the "enemy of the people" of the Soviet period, is extensively used against opponents, journalists and human rights activists who are accused of carrying out political activities from abroad.

Such “foreign agents” are subject to numerous requirements and lengthy procedures that threaten strict sanctions. In particular, you have to state this status in all of your publications.

The committee against torture, founded in 2000, fought to ensure that the Russian authorities examine allegations of abuse by the security forces and take measures to prevent such abuse

It dealt with the legal situation in Chechnya.

3. Selenskyj insists that Ukraine will prevail against Russia

Wolodymyr Selenskyj said on Saturday that his country will definitely assert himself in this war that Russia began.

From an unknown place in Kiev, the Ukrainian President told the delegates of the Shangri-la dialogue in Singapore that the outcome of the war in his country is not only the Ukraine, but also the future of international order.

"I am grateful for your support ... but this support not only applies to Ukraine, but also to you," he said. "On the battlefields of Ukraine, the future rules of this world are decided together with the limits of the possible."

he pointed out that Russia blocks ports in the Black Sea and in the Sea in Asow and keeps Ukrainian food exports away from the world market. That is a shame not only to the Ukrainians, but the whole world, he said.

"If we cannot export our food due to Russian blockages, the world will be faced with acute and severe food crisis and famines in many countries in Asia and Africa," he said.

4. Ukraine controls the Sewerodonezk chemical plant

Ukraine continues to keep control of the Azot Chemief Abrik in Sewerodonezk, where hundreds of civilians are looking for protection, said the governor of the region on Saturday after a separatist supported by Russia claimed that 300-400 Ukrainian fighters were also caught there.

"The information about the blockade of the Azot plant is a lie," said Serhij Gaidai, governor of the Luhansk region, which is partly controlled by pro-Russian separatists, via the messaging app Telegram.

"Our armed forces hold an industrial area of Sewerodonezk and destroy the Russian army in the city," he wrote.

The Ukraine said that around 800 people had hidden under the Azot system in several air-raid shelter, including around 200 employees and 600 inhabitants of the city.

rodion Miroshnik, a representative of the self -proclaimed representative of the self -proclaimed People's Republic of Lugansk, said on Saturday that 300 to 400 Ukrainian fighters together with civilians were blocked on the site of the work and tried to negotiate their crossing to the city of Lysychansk.

"Such demands are unacceptable and are not being discussed," said Miroshnik and added that negotiations with fighters about civilians are underway.

5. Selenskyj didn't want to hear anything about invasion threats, says Biden

President Joe Biden revealed that President Selenskyj "didn't want to hear it" when the American secret service showed in February that Russia is preparing to intervene in his country.

When he spoke to donors at a donation campaign in Los Angeles on Friday, Mr. Biden spoke about his work to collect support for Ukraine while the war goes into a fourth month.

"Something like that has not happened since World War II.
