Yesterday the Ukrainian authorities reported that 130 people had managed to get out of the bombed theater in Mariupol and that more than 1,000 were still trapped in that basement, which withstood the attack.
The Ministry of Defense of the Government of Ukraine has reported that last night lost access to the sea of azov after Russian troops tightened their grip on the main port of Mariupol: “The invaders have been partially successful in the Donetsk operating district, temporarily depriving Ukraine of access to the Sea of Azov,” the ministry said.
For his part, the mayor of the city, Vadym Boychenko, explained on the BBC that Russian troops have already reached the center of the city. Street-to-street fighting in the center of Mariupol is preventing the rescue of “hundreds of people” trapped in the air shelter installed in the basement of the bombed theater last Wednesday. On Friday, the authorities reported that 130 people had managed to get out and that more than 1,000 were still trapped in that basement, which resisted the attack.
For its part, the Russian government denies that its forces are targeting civilian targets and rejects responsibility for the bombing of the theater and blames the Ukrainian forces for blowing it up as a “bloody provocation.”
