KYIV, Ukraine — Russian forces in Ukraine tried to storm a steel plant housing soldiers and civilians in the southern city of Mariupol on Saturday in an attempt to crush the last corner of resistance in a place of deep symbolic and strategic value to Moscow, Ukrainian officials said.
Zelenskyy also announced he would meet Sunday in Kyiv with the U.S. secretary of state, Antony Blinken, and secretary of defense, Lloyd Austin. The White House declined comment. Zelenskyy gave little detail about logistics of the encounter but noted he was expecting concrete results — “not just presents or some kind of cakes, we are expecting specific things and specific weapons.”
In Sloviansk, a town in northern Donbas, AP witnessed two soldiers arriving at a hospital, one of them mortally wounded. Nearby, a small group of people gathered outside a church where a priest blessed them with water on Holy Saturday. An advisor to Ukraine’s presidential office, Oleksiy Arestovich, said Russian forces resumed air strikes on the Azovstal plant and were also trying to storm it. Two days earlier, Russian President Vladimir Putin had given an order not to send troops in but instead to blockade the plant, an apparent attempt to starve out those inside and force their surrender.
The regiment’s deputy commander, Sviatoslav Palamar, told AP the video was shot Thursday. The Azov Regiment has its roots in the Azov Battalion, which was formed in 2014 by far-right activists at the start of the separatist conflict in eastern Ukraine and has elicited criticism for some of its tactics.
“At 11 o’clock, at least 200 Mariupol residents gathered near the Port City shopping center, waiting for evacuation,” Andryushchenko posted on the Telegram messaging app. “The Russian military drove up to the Mariupol residents and ordered them to disperse, because now there will be shelling.”
