Mariupol mayor says Russian forces attempting ‘blockade’ of port city
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleKYIV, Ukraine — Russian troops are trying to lay siege to the Ukrainian city of Mariupol, seeking to cut it off from electricity, water, heating and transportation, its mayor says today.
“They are trying to create a blockade here, just like in Leningrad,” Vadym Boichenko says in a statement referring to the horrific siege of Russia’s second largest city by the Nazis during World War II, which left hundreds of thousands dead.
