Kyiv may stop negotiations with Moscow in the event of the killing of Ukrainian soldiers who remain in Mariupol. This was stated by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in an interview with Ukrainian online media, according to Ukrainska Pravda.
Zelensky said that negotiations are being held “at various levels” to help the Ukrainian military in Mariupol. He also assured that the Ukrainian authorities “are in touch with the guys who are at the blocked plant .”
Mariupol - it can be like ten Borodyankas, and I want to say, the destruction of our military, our guys will put an end to all negotiations. A dead end - because we do not trade territories and our people. And the more Borodyankas there are, the more difficult it will be.
According to Zelensky, the situation in Mariupol is very difficult - there is no food, water or medicine. The Ukrainian side tried to negotiate humanitarian corridors for the wounded, women and children, but Russia refused, the president said.
Zelensky named the disappearance of people in the city as another problem in Mariupol: “Many people have disappeared, we don’t know how many people have disappeared.”
What can save Mariupol? It is powerful weapons that must be provided as soon as possible. The second is a question of negotiations. A ceasefire is very necessary to take the wounded. But it depends on Russia's will. They are offering our people to surrender.
