Kyiv, March 23: Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy on Wednesday accused the Russian forces of seizing a humanitarian convoy near Mangush west of Mariupol. In a video address, he said, that 100,000 people remaining in Mariupol are under “inhumane conditions”.
He said, “Employees of the state emergency service and bus drivers have been taken captive. “The remaining people in Mariupol are living in inhumane conditions. In a total blockade. Without food, water, medication. Under constant shelling, under constant bombing.”
According to BBC, the President said Ukraine officials and allies were doing their best to get aid into the city and more civilians out. The Human Rights Watch report released on Monday has stated that the city has become a “freezing hellscape riddled with dead bodies and destroyed buildings”. More than 3.5 million have fled Ukraine since Russia’s invasion on February 24, the United Nations refugee agency said on Tuesday.
