The vast territory of the Azovstal metallurgical plant became the main defensive stronghold of the Azov Battalion in Mariupol.
Civilians evacuated the blocked Azovstal plant in Mariupol. Local fighting continues over plant territory. CNN reported this in connection with the deputy commander of the Azov regime Svyatoslav Palamar.
“If you’re specifically talking about the Azovstal plant, then the civilians who were with us, who we cared for – they were able to leave the plant,” Palamar said.

He stressed that in Mariupol there is really no water, food and shelter.
“There are some apartments that are less affected, almost no windows … There is no water, there is really not enough water to drink, … tanks are being put in, but the quality of the water that is brought in is very good. Low, because it is taken from at the very first historic well in Mariupol … More than 2 months of drinking this water is certainly not a plus for health. There is a catastrophic shortage of food, “said the adviser to the mayor of Mariupol.

“They are proud that in recent months they have brought 100,000 humanitarian food kits and distributed them to the people of Mariupol, and if there were 100-130 thousand people in the city last month, we understand that it is one food kit per person. .every month! ” – Andryushchenko emphasized.
