UKRAINE
Ukraine Krieg - Situationsbericht Tag 85
May 19, 2022 -
Moskau berichtet, dass mehr als 900 ukrainische Kämpfer aus dem Stahlwerk in Mariupol in eine ehemalige Gefangenenkolonie gebracht worden sind. Indessen setzt Russland den Beschuss der noch verbliebenen Verteidiger im Stahlwerk weiter fort.
Russia said on Wednesday an additional 694 more fighters had surrendered, bringing the total number to 959.
Mariupol is the biggest city Russia has captured so far and allows Russian President Vladimir Putin to claim a rare victory in the invasion it began on Feb 24.
Since then, Russian attacks have reduced cities and towns to ruins, thousands have been killed and more than six million people have fled to neighbouring countries.
