Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky urged foreign partners to hear him, because in Mariupol a child died of dehydration for the first time in decades.
"In Mariupol for the first time in decades, for the first time probably since the Nazi invasion, a child died of dehydration. Hear me today, respected partners, a child died of dehydration," Zelensky said.
Meanwhile, the Azov regiment claims that Russian troops began shelling Mariupol in the direction of the civilian evacuation route.
"Especially for the evacuation of civilians in Mariupol on a single route, the defenders of the city have taken a number of measures: clearing the road of mines, removal of engineering barriers and other. "Right now, not letting Mariupol residents out of the city, the enemy began an attack on Mariupol in this very direction," Azov (Mariupol) said in a message in the Telegram channel.
Iryna Vereshchuk told a briefing about the situation in the cities where the evacuation of Ukrainians through humanitarian corridors was planned today.
On March 7, it was reported that the occupants continue to pound Mariupol, there is not a single neighborhood in the city that has not been shelled by the invaders.
Mariupol was finally left without communication. The only way to find out about the situation in the country was through the military.
