Volodymyr Zelensky, President of Ukraine, met with journalists from Ukrinform, Ukrayinska Pravda, LB.ua, LIGA.net, RBC-Ukraine, and Obozrevatel.

Ukrinform, Ukrayinska Pravda, LB.ua, LIGA.net, RBC-Ukraine, and Obozrevatel journalists met with President of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko. The major themes of the interview are provided by Ukrinform.

Ukrainian officials are in communication with servicemen stranded in Mariupol at several levels. Today, the city’s defenders are up against an opponent whose forces outnumber them six to one.

“We’re in touch with our guys who are stuck in the stalled plant.” We’ve been in touch with them. Every day, we communicate with them on many levels. We will do everything we can to help them. They are aware, however, that they are carrying out one of the most powerful and critical tasks in the world today.

In reality, the enemy is scared of them since there are six times as many Russian troops there today,” Zelensky said, adding that the enemy has tens of times the equipment as Ukrainian defenders.

The Ukrainian military controls “not a very substantial chunk” of Mariupol, according to the president.

In addition, he claims that the city is experiencing a humanitarian crisis.

Food, water, and medications are in short supply.

“However, our guys are defending bravely, and we are grateful for that.” Words of gratitude are insufficient, so specific plans and negotiating processes are in the works. To be honest, when it comes to Mariupol, there is no faith in Russian negotiators,” Zelensky stated.

He added that there was an agreement on a humanitarian corridor mediated by Turkey, but Russia refused “at some point.”
