Children

Mariupol

As of 8:00 a.m. on March 15, 2022, according to official information from the Mariupol City Council, 2,357 Mariupol residents have been killed by Russian aggressors since the beginning of the invasion. The Russian army deliberately keeps Mariupol under a tight siege, not opening humanitarian corridors for local residents to leave, not allowing people to be provided with food, drinking water, and necessary medical care in order to pressure Ukraine during negotiations and force it to give up parts of Ukrainian territory along the Sea of Azov. During the March 13 meeting of Ukrainian and Russian foreign ministers in Turkey, the main issue for Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba was to get Russian approval for humanitarian aid to Mariupol. Sergey Lavrov promised to resolve this issue in Moscow, but Russian troops have not allowed Ukraine to provide humanitarian aid to Mariupol residents in recent days.
