The situation at the embattled steel plant in Mariupol is “critical” as the last Ukrainian fighters in the port city face “constant storming” by Russian forces, despite Moscow’s promises of a cease-fire, a police chief inside Azovstal Steel and Iron Works told The Washington Post.
While a top Ukrainian official said fighting at the plant is ongoing and that Russian troops had earlier been “pushed out by our defenders,” Moscow’s grip on the rest of the devastated port city appears to be tightening. City officials say Russia is clearing debris from a bombed-out theater as it prepared to host a parade in Mariupol to mark the annual Victory Day celebration.
Meanwhile, a new United Nations and Red Cross convoy is heading to the plant in hopes of rescuing more civilians trapped at the site. Aid workers are expected to arrive by Friday. A U.N. coordinator said the civilians have been living in a “bleak hell.”
