peribiden Russian Ukrainian News Spotlight | Russian President Vladimir Putin claimed Thursday’s victory in the battle for Mariupol despite an estimated 2,000 Ukrainian fighters still hiding in a giant steel factory, ordered his troops not to storm the fort but to close it “so it didn’t even fly.” Putin expressed concern for the life of the Russian forces in deciding to oppose Send them to clean a large Azovstal plant, where the defenders die hide in the labyrinth of the underground hallway.
Putin’s comments came when the Maxar Technologies satellite image provider released a photo showing more than 200 of what was called a new mass grave in a city where Ukrainian officials said Russia had buryed Mariupol’s residents’ killed in battle. Imaging shows a long row of graves that stretch from a grave in the city of Manhush, outside Mariupol.

Boychenko labeled Russian actions in the city as “new pigs,” reference to the site of several Nazi massacres where nearly 34,000 Ukrainian Jews were killed in 1941.
