Mariupol Mayor Vadym Boychenko claimed on Monday that Russia is blocking evacuation busses from reaching the city, only allowing citizens to leave in private vehicles. He also said humanitarian aid is not allowed to enter Mariupol, where over 100,000 people remain.
"Unfortunately, the situation in Mariupol was, is and remains very difficult. Today we are on the brink of a humanitarian catastrophe: a city without light, without water, without food, without medicine for more than a month. Therefore, we insist that Mariupol must be given full evacuation and access to the city," Boychenko said, according to Interfax Ukraine.
