“The port of Mariupol was liberated.” This was stated by the head of the proRussian Donetsk separatist republic in Donbass, quoted by Tass. 33,000 residents of Mariupol were forcibly deported to Russia and the temporarily occupied districts of Donetsk region. This was announced by the Ukrainian human rights commissioner Lyudmila Denisova in her Telegram channel, as reported by UNIAN.
In the occupied areas of the city, “a brutal crackdown on civilians is underway, carried out with the support of local collaborators,” Denisova said.
It was not a friendly meeting ». This is how the Austrian Federal Chancellery, quoted by the online newspaper Kronen Zeitung, commented on today’s Moscow meeting between Federal Chancellor Karl Nehammer and Russian President Vladimir Putin.
«Defense of Mariupol proceeds. The connection with the Defense Forces units heroically defending the city is stable and maintained ». This was stated by the commander of the Ukrainian armed forces, Valery Zaluzhny, after the proRussian separatists in Donetsk claimed to have taken “total control” of the city’s port. «I emphasize that the conduct of defensive operations is not a subject of public discussion. We are doing everything possible and impossible to win and save the lives of personnel and civilians,” added Zaluzhny, quoted by Ukrainska Pravda.
