KYIV, Ukraine (AP) An advisor to Ukraines presidential office says Russian forces are attacking a steel plant that is the last defense stronghold of Ukrainian forces in the strategic port city of Mariupol.
Oleksiy Arestovich, an advisor to the head of Ukraines presidential office, said during a briefing on Saturday that the Russian forces have resumed air strikes on Azovstal and were trying to storm it.
The enemy is trying to completely suppress resistance of the defenders of Mariupol in the area of Azovstal, Arestovich said.
Arestovichs statement came two days after Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu reported to President Vladimir Putin that the whole of Mariupol, with the exception of Azovstal, had been liberated by the Russians.
