“They are breaking the food supply, blocking us like in the old Leningrad“he said in a statement, referring to Nazi Germany’s prolonged siege of the then-Soviet city – now known as Saint Petersburg – during World War II. Some 1.5 million people died in the more than two years that the siege lasted.
“They have been deliberately destroying (Mariupol’s) critical vital infrastructure for seven days. We are once again without electricity, water and heating,” the council said.
The Ukrainian authorities also added that they are trying to create a humanitarian corridor for Mariupol, in addition to trying to restore the infrastructure.
“Mariupol is still under fire. Women, children and the elderly are suffering. They are destroying us as a nation. This is a genocide of the Ukrainian people“, he claimed.
On Wednesday night Ukraine confirmed the capture by the Russian army of Khersona port city of 290,000 inhabitants in the south of the country.
“The squatters are in all parts of the city and they are very dangerous,” the head of the regional administration, Guennady Lakhuta, told Telegram.
In the morning, Moscow had announced the capture of this city on the shores of the Black Sea, in the greatest victory of its troops since the beginning of the invasion seven days ago.
Kherson Mayor Igor Kolykhayev said he had spoken with the “armed guests” at a municipal administration building.
“We had no weapons and we were not aggressive. We showed that we work to secure the city and try to stop the consequences of the invasion,” he said in a Facebook message.
