request through congress. coming weeks after secretary blinken and secretary of defense lloyd austin visited, of course. matt rivers for us in kyiv, appreciate it, matt, thank you very much. one ukrainian lawmaker does not have much faith in the future evacuations we were telling you about from mariupol. he told me a short time ago, he doesn t believe russia is interested in allowing many people to leave, have a listen. i m very, very pessimistic about evacuation from mariupol. mariupol is the golden bough in russian propaganda. over 80 years they decide mariupol is a nazi nest and they decided to destroy this nazi nest. and all the time they said we are opening humanitarian
20 civilians being evacuated. of course we know there are a thousand or so inside a steel plant. do you know whether there will be further attempts to evacuate the rest today? i m very, very pessimistic about the location from mariupol mariupol is the golden nugget in russian propaganda. they ve said mariupol is a nazi nest, and they have decided to destroy this nazi nest. and all the time they said we re opening military corridor, we re opening green corridors. all this time is lie. and after of course the general secretary of united nation came to russia and then came to ukraine and the main reason was in mariupol, and the situation
it s not clear what the different numbers may represent. but either way, it s just a tiny fraction of the thousands still stuck in that city. earlier, my colleague, isa suarez spoke with a ukrainian lawmaker and asked what s in store next for those still inside that battered city. i m very, very pessimistic. you know, mariupol is the golden ballot in russian propaganda. 80 years they decide mariupol is a nazi nest. and they decided to destroy this nazi nest. and all the time they said we are opening military corridor, all this time is lie.
