“Tomorrow they might be dead” Gerashchenko about people at Azovstal [VIDEO]

Chechen leader Ramzan Kadyrov says Mariupol and Azov Valley would fall today. “Before lunch or after lunch, Azovstal will be under the control of Russian troops,” Kadyrov said, considered a close ally of Putin.

Troops of Chechen fighters were to operate in Bucha, Hostoml and Irpin, where hundreds of bodies of killed and tortured civilians were found after the end of the Russian occupation. 

Now their leader is threatening that Mariupol will fall today and that the Russians will take control of the metallurgical facilities in Azovstal, where Ukrainian soldiers and about 1,000 civilians are hiding.

“Before lunch or after lunch, Azovstal will be under the control of Russian troops,” Kadyrov said.

In Mariupol, surrounded by Russians, people have been living without running water and electricity for weeks. Nevertheless, the city defends itself.

“Look at the faces of these children. Tomorrow they might be dead. Now they are in a bunker at #Azovstal #Mariupol with parents. Putin gave orders to bomb them tonight with 5ton bombs. We demand that Putin lets children go to safety. They need to live!” Anton Gerashchenko, Adviser to the Minister of Internal Affairs of Ukraine, wrote on Twitter.
