Francis asked Putin three times to evacuate people from Mariupol/Channel 24 Collage
The need to evacuate people from Mariupol is already being discussed all over the world. The Pope also addressed Vladimir Putin with such a request.
Putin refused the pontiff
There are small children, women and elderly people at the Azovstal plant. Francis asked the head of the Kremlin to allow their evacuation.
The pontiff addressed the aggressor with such a request three times. The Pope asked to be allowed to take people out of Azovstal by ship under the flag of the Vatican. However, each time Putin denied. Therefore, the evacuation has not yet taken place.
What is the situation at Azovstal
The Russians are preparing around the clock at the plant, which has become a refuge for thousands of civilians in Mariupol. People have not seen sunlight for more than 2 months and did not breathe fresh air. They live under constant bombardment in a damp, moldy basement. Their supplies are running out, so all the food has to be used very sparingly.
Ukraine is constantly trying to negotiate an evacuation, but the Russians do not allow it. In the hospital of the plant there are also wounded soldiers who need qualified medical care. They have to sleep on the ground and help each other.
On April 28, as a result of shelling, the hospital collapsed. The wounded received new wounds. Doctors were also hurt. The number of victims has already exceeded 600 people.
Pay attention! On April 28, the representative of the United Nations, Osnat Lubrani, announced that she was going to Zaporozhye. There she will work on organizing the evacuation from Mariupol. UN Secretary General António Guteres gave such an indication to politics after he himself visited Borodyanka, liberated from the Russians.
