Is the Russian Army Resuming Attacks for Evacuation of About 100 Citizens of Eastern Mariupol?

In Ukraine, approximately 100 civilians evacuated from a steel mill in eastern Mariupol, surrounded by Russian troops, and arrived in another city in the southeast.

However, the Ukrainian side claims that the Russian army has resumed the attack, and it is unpredictable whether the evacuation of the remaining civilians will proceed smoothly.

On the 2nd, the Russian Defense Ministry attacked 36 military facilities in Ukraine with missiles, destroyed the Ukrainian surface-to-air missile system, weapons and ammunition depots in eastern Donetsk Oblast, as well as eastern Harkiu. Announced that it shot down an unmanned aircraft in Donetsk Oblast and also on the island of Ukraine in the Black Sea.

Russian troops are stepping up their offensive towards full control of the two eastern states, but appear to be under intense resistance from Ukrainian troops, commemorating the former Soviet Union's victory over Nazi Germany on the 9th of this month. It will be difficult for the Russian side to achieve its goal by "anniversary".

Under these circumstances, of the hundreds of citizens allegedly staying at the ironworks in eastern Mariupol surrounded by Russian troops, about 100 were evacuated from the ironworks on May 1, and Ukrainian troops departed on the 2nd. Revealed that they have arrived in Zaporizhia in the southeast.

Tskitishvili, president of the steelworks, thanked NHK for his interview, saying, "The functioning of the humanitarian corridor for evacuation is a result of the efforts of President Zelensky and the leaders of each country."

On the other hand, "Some people at the steelworks were injured in the bombing and lost their limbs, but the Russian side refused to send an ambulance to the steelworks. I want you to do it. "

President Zelensky said the evacuation from the steelworks would take place for two days, but Ukrainian military officials defending Mariupol said, "Once the first citizens have been evacuated, Russian troops will use all weapons. The attack has resumed, "and it is unpredictable whether the evacuation of the remaining citizens will proceed smoothly.
