Zelenskyy says ‘nothing left’ of Mariupol, Kherson also facing humanitarian disaster

Ukraine’s president said on Tuesday there was “nothing left” of the city of Mariupol after weeks of Russian bombardment, and Kyiv appealed to Moscow to allow the evacuation of at least 100,000 people who want to leave.

Ukraine has issued increasingly dire warnings about the situation in the encircled southern port city, where officials say residents are without food, medicine, power or running water.

Officials said 300,000 civilians were also running out of food in the occupied southern Ukrainian city of Kherson, highlighting what an international aid official said was the breakdown of Ukraine’s humanitarian system.

“There is nothing left there. Only ruins,” Volodomyr Zelenskyy said of Mariupol, which has a peacetime population of 400,000, in a video address to the Italian parliament.


As he was speaking, the city council said Russian forces had dropped two large bombs on Mariupol but gave no details of casualties or damage. Reuters could not independently verify the report. Russia did not immediately comment on it.

“Once again it is clear that the occupiers are not interested in the city of Mariupol. They want to level it to the ground and make it the ashes of a dead land,” the council said.

Russia denies targeting civilians and blames Ukraine for the repeated failure to establish safe passage for civilians out of Mariupol.

Ukraine defied an ultimatum for the city to surrender by dawn on Monday as a condition for Russian forces to let civilians leave safely.

“We demand the opening of a humanitarian corridor for civilians,” Deputy Prime Minister Iryna Vereshchuk said on Ukrainian television.

She later added: “There are at least 100,000 people who want to leave Mariupol but cannot.”

Vereshchuk said that unless a safe corridor was created and buses were allowed in to evacuate them, they would have to walk from 10 to 20 kilometers (six to 12 miles) to reach relative safety - a risky journey if there is no ceasefire.

She and other Ukrainian officials said Russian forces were also preventing humanitarian supplies reaching civilians in Kherson, a city they control.

“Kherson’s 300k citizens face a humanitarian catastrophe owing to the Russian army’s blockade. Food and medical supplies have almost run out, yet Russia refuses to open humanitarian corridors to evacuate civilians,” foreign ministry spokesperson Oleg Nikolenko said on Twitter.

Ukraine is winning the war on the media while Russia is dealing them blows in reality...
The comedian should better get sense and just surrender jeje before Putin wipes off Ukraine from the face of the planet...

Putin will also be destroyed in like manner. History will not be kind to him.

Mariuopol is a strategy city. It is enshrined to serve as a colony for Ukrainian and ally submarines to move to and fro that terrain with ease.

Also with its desire to stick with Ukraine inspite of the surrounding cities like Luhansk and Donestk, Mariupol remained loyal to its Ukrainian routes unlike Donetsk where over 100,000 persons have been killed and injure in the past four years.


The military action against Mariupol is nothing about Zelensky, NATO, but that the city chose to stick with Ukraine and not follow the path Luhansk and Donetsk followed and it is critical to the submarine movement to and fro which in event of war is considered grave disadvantage to Russia.

This is the route of its problem. Its a war of envy and spite not NATO.

As long as nothing happened to Bush and Obama over Iraq and Libya, nothing will happen to Putin over Ukraine. Take that to the bank and cash it
