“The lives of all Ukrainian servicemen, nationalist fighters and foreign mercenaries are guaranteed if they lay down their arms. But kyiv does not authorize this possibility,” Putin said, in a Kremlin statement, summarizing a conversation with the European Council president, Charles Michael.
On Thursday, Putin ordered to surround the Azovstal area, where there are about 2,000 soldiers, according to Moscow, but without giving the assault order, in order to preserve the lives of Russian soldiers. There are also thousands of civilian refugees there, according to Ukraine.
On Friday, Putin also considered “irresponsible” statements by European authorities about “the need to resolve the situation in Ukraine by military means and ignore the many Ukrainian war crimes.”
The Russian president accused the “leaders of most European Union countries of supporting clearly Russophobic actions,” referring to the exclusion of Russians from cultural and sporting events.
The President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelenskyaffirmed this Friday that the devastated city of Mariúpol “continues to resist” despite the fact that Russia claims to have taken it.
“In the south and east of our country, the invaders continue to do everything to have a reason to speak of at least some victory,” he said in a video.
“They can only delay the inevitable: the moment when the invaders will have to leave our territory, particularly Mariupol, a city that continues to resist Russia despite everything the invaders say,” the Ukrainian leader added, the news agency reported. AFP.
