Russia claims to have taken Mariupol, cancels offensive at Azovstal plant

"Mariupol is ours." With these words, Moscow crowns what it calls a successful operation in Mariupol, a city that according to President Putin is now in Russian hands.

According to Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu, who briefed the Kremlin chief on the situation on the ground, more than 4,000 of the approximately 8,000 soldiers of the nationalist battalions and foreign mercenaries present in Mariupol were eliminated during the liberation of the city.

Putin ordered the military to cancel plans to attack the Azovstal iron and steel plant, which houses the remaining resistance forces, along with hundreds of civilians. He said he would not endanger the lives of Russian troops and ordered the operation to focus on further blocking the metallurgical plant so that no flies would come out of it, he said.
"I consider unnecessary the invasion of the industrial zone and order to cancel it. This is where we need to think about saving the lives of our soldiers. There is no need to go into catacombs and crawl underground. "Block the industrial zone so that no flies come out of there," Putin said.

According to Russian Defense Minister Shoigu, more than 2,000 Ukrainian fighters are still in the plant's underground bunkers. Moscow issued a series of ultimatums to surrender if they did not want to die, but defenders of the southern city refused to lay down their arms.

Earlier, Ukrainian negotiator Mykhailo Podolyak proposed to Russia to hold special talks in Mariupol, without preconditions.

Over 120,000 citizens are said to be trapped in the port city, with some of them being able to evacuate on Wednesday. Humanitarian corridors for the evacuation of women, children and the elderly were announced this Thursday, despite the difficult security situation.
