Blows up fallen in the territory of “Azovstal” and poisons the surroundings / Article

“This is a very difficult situation. There is no ceasefire. We do not know if we will be able to bring the wounded out today. Some talks are taking place. Will the agreement be honored? It’s hard to say,” Palamars said.

Azovstal is the only place in the ruined Mariopul, where Ukrainian forces are still resisting Russian troops, and the factory has become a symbol of Ukrainian resistance.

The soldiers, who still hold positions in the factory, have promised to continue the fight and not give up. They are hoping for help.

“The injured should be evacuated as soon as possible [8. maijā] again there are many dead and wounded. We do not have surgical instruments. There is no possibility to provide qualified medical care, “Palamars emphasized in an interview.

He did not disclose the number of soldiers killed, but said there were hundreds of people.

He said there were about 600 wounded soldiers, but that number was rising every day, as was the number of deaths.

“Our soldiers die every day from serious injuries. We don’t have enough antibiotics, we don’t have fresh air, our hospital is being bombed,” Palamars said.

“We have a lot of contusions. We have a lot of deaths right from the bombing. The situation is catastrophic,” Palamars said.

“I believe that the Russian side also needs to gather its soldiers. This requires a ceasefire and an agreement between the two sides to collect the bodies. It is now warm outside. The bodies are beginning to decompose and poison everything,” Palamars said.

He added that Azovstal’s wounded soldiers were dying of gangrene. The hospital has few antibiotics and no amputation.

According to him, it is quite cynical that politicians make statements about the successful evacuation from Azovstal, if the evacuation took place at the expense of at least three defenders and six were injured.

Palamar said Mariupol’s defenders had been promised help on several occasions, but nothing had changed.

“The most cynical thing is that they promise us, ‘Guys, wait until mid-March, and then help will come.’ And nothing. ‘

“We hope that, thanks to journalists and politicians, not everyone, but those who are really trying to help, we will be able to influence the world, the UN, to organize the evacuation of the wounded and possibly the removal of the military garrison here,” Palamars said.

He added that sometimes they eat once a day and sometimes the day goes without food. They still have small water reserves and technical water that they boil and drink.

He also said that all Russian planes and ships were firing on the positions of Ukrainian defenders “Azovstal” and that they did not have the means to resist the enemy.
