that s a complete disaster right now in mariupol. firstly from a humanitarian point of view there was a convoy of buses that were meant to go in there today and get out about 6,000 of those besieged civilians from that town. the russians again didn t honor that peace corridor, green corridor. so they couldn t get out. just several dozen people got out. and within that city, as the ukrainians in there describe it, it s hell on earth. we ve heard from some of the brigades that are fighting in there. they are still fighting. but the situation has become so desperate for them they re saying that if a third country can broker a peace deal for them and get all the civilians and the fighters out of there as this point they d be willing to do it because they are so outnumbered, so outgunned and any more time in there they would all probably die. so it shows how desperate the situation is, especially for the azov battalion that have been fighting so hard there since the beginning of this war.

well until we re ready for any attack by ants one point calling on the united nations and international organizations to intervene and stop these pump our i.q. tanks. with our mission is clear. we will bring down the corridor of terror. what we want to build is a peace corridor that is our aim a safe zone this is police immediately next. to a good result to toadfish plan. to creation of the so-called safe zone don t expect to continue and to pay for the due to what turkey goes into syria they re not going in to fight isis they re going to kill the kurds with just what on earth against we have made to get
