Ukraine has involved almost the whole world in the process of rescuing the defenders of the Azovstal metallurgical plant in Mariupol.
The incoming Minister of Defense Anna Malyar wrote about it in Facebook following a meeting with relatives of Mariupol defenders, Ukrinform reports.
“Every opportunity is being made today. Our state has connected almost the whole world to this process. The conversation was very sincere, sometimes with tears in my eyes – because this is our common pain and our common cause – salvation, “said Malyar.
According to her, at a closed meeting with the families of defenders – soldiers of the Armed Forces, the National Guard, the National Police and border guards – the authorities spoke openly about the current topic and the colossal work of the state to save the military in Azovstal.
“The military operation is underway, so we do not say anything in public so as not to harm,” said the deputy head of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.
As reported by Ukrinform, on May 1, representatives of the Cabinet of Ministers met with the parents of the Azovstal metallurgical plant’s parents. It was attended by Deputy Prime Minister – Minister for Reintegration of the Temporarily Occupied Territories Iryna Vereshchuk, Minister of Veterans Affairs Yulia Laputina, Deputy Defense Minister Hanna Malyar, Deputy Interior Minister Kateryna Pavlichenko, as well as representatives of the General Staff, National Guard and the National Guard.
Ukraine is getting a low-ranking country, including Israel, Switzerland, Turkey, and Finland, before talks with Russia on the release of troops from the Azovstal plant in Mariupol.
There are about 600 heavy fighters in the shelters of the blocked Azovstal plant, who cannot provide adequate assistance due to lack of medicines and lack of doctors. The territory of the metallurgical plant is constantly shelled and tried to storm.
Iryna Vereshchuk, Minister for the Reintegration of the Temporarily Occupied Territories, said that the special evacuation operation from Azovstal would begin with the rescue of opponents of the military and take place in several stages.
Earlier, Ukraine offered Russia to exchange severely wounded Azovstal fighters for Russian prisoners according to the standard rules of prisoner exchange. According to Vereshchuk, it is currently impossible to unblock Azovstal with military words. Defenders of Azov did not intend to surrender, and the Russians will not agree to the extraction procedure.
