Mariupol is 'in the hands' of Russia, mayor says

The Week

The majority of Mariupol is now in the hands of Russian forces, according to CNN.

The Mayor of Mariupol said in a televised interview on Monday that they are in the hands of the occupiers. The siege of Mariupol by Russia has killed 5,000 people and left 160,000 people without clean water or electricity, according to the man who is no longer in the city. Mariupol had a large population before the invasion.

Russian and Russian-backed rebels are accused of taking thousands of Mariupol residents to Russia and of firing on proposed corridors to evacuate them.

Over 4,000 people were successfully evacuated from Mariupol last week. According to CNN, the pro-Russian rebels say they are leaving 1,700 a day.

According to the New York Times, Zelensky told the city's defenders that they may need to flee and that the Ukrainian military couldn't muster enough troops.

Russia would win the largest victory of the war if it captured Mariupol. Russian forces have narrowed their targets to the southern port city of Mariupol and the strategically placed city of Chernihiv because they failed to capture the major Ukrainian cities as planned.

Mariupol is on the southern coast of Ukraine and is between the warring areas of the Donbas region and the Crimean Peninsula. If Mariupol falls, Russia will seize the land bridge connecting the two.

A spokesman for the mayor of Mariupol said on Monday that over 5,000 people have been killed in the city since Russian forces began their siege. It was not immediately clear how the mayor calculated the toll from a month of Russian bombardment that has devastated the city and trapped tens of thousands of residents without power and with few supplies. Mariupol's buildings had been damaged or destroyed, according to the office.
