Fox News
Ukraine is planning an operation to evacuate civilians sheltering inside the Azovstal steel plant in Mariupol, President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said on Friday.
Russia has devastated Mariupol, a strategic port city, with constant attacks since the start of the invasion, many on civilians. The attacks have left the city with little power, water and food for the last two months.
Last week, Russian President Vladimir Putin told his troops that it wasn’t necessary to storm the plant and claimed victory over the city. Still, Ukrainian defenders, along with thousands of civilians and injured service members, remained inside the blockaded plant.
