“We agree and hope to continue rescuing people from Azovstal, from Mariupol. There are still civilians there. Women, children. To save them, we need to continue the regime of silence. The side of Ukrainian is ready to make sure of this.It takes time to just lift people from the basements, from the underground shelters.Under current conditions, we cannot use special equipment to clean the crushed stone. Everything is done manually. But we believe everything will work, “said the head of state.
The Ukrainian leader noted that he had raised the Mariupol issue in negotiations with UN Secretary -General António Guterres and Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett.
