Ukrainian steel plant bombed; Zelenskyy to meet US officials
“The great holiday today gives us great hope and unwavering faith that light will overcome darkness, good will overcome evil, life will overcome death, and therefore Ukraine will surely win!” he said, speaking Sunday from the ancient St. Sophia Cathedral.
Mariupol has been blockaded for most of the war. Ukrainian officials have said they expect to find thousands of dead civilians andthere when the fighting ends. Satellite images have shown what appear to be mass graves dug in towns to the west and east of Mariupol. Russia has pulled back forces from Kyiv, and the north of the country to feed into the Donbas offensive, but the British Ministry of Defense said Sunday that Ukrainian forces had repelled numerous assaults in the past week.
“The war started when this baby was one month old. Can you imagine what is happening?” Zelenskyy said. “They are just bastards. ... I don’t have any other words for it, just bastards.” If true, at least nine Russian generals have been killed since the start of the invasion, according to Ukrainian reports.On Saturday the Azov Regiment of Ukraine’s National Guard, which has members holed up in the Mariupol steel plant, released a video of around two dozen women and children sheltering there. Its contents could not be independently verified, but if authentic, it would be the first video testimony of what life has been like for civilians trapped underground there.
