Russia issues an ultimatum to surrender to Mariupol, the punished city in Ukraine that Russian troops are under siege
The Ukrainian city of Mariupol faces a dangerous ultimatum.
After more than two weeks of siege by the invading troops, the Russian Ministry of Defense has demanded a surrender to the Ukrainian military and authorities that are there.
The term expires at 05:00 local time (03:00 GMT) on Monday. The answer was a resounding rejection of Ukraine.
According to the Russian state news agency Ria Novosti, the Kremlin has said it will open humanitarian corridors to allow residents to leave if it receives a written response to surrender.
Colonel General Mikhail Mizintsev, director of Russia’s National Center for Defense Management, was quoted as saying that local officials would face a “military tribunal” if they did not accept the terms.
But in the early hours of Monday, Ukrainian Deputy Prime Minister Iryna Vereshchuk said that “there can be no doubt” about the refusal to surrender.
“We have already informed the Russian side about this,” he said.
80% of residential buildings in Mariupol have been damaged, according to the local mayor.
“They sent the same letter to the UN, to the International Committee of the Red Cross and hoped that international organizations would react and start putting pressure on Ukraine. This will not happen. The ICRC and the UN understand that it is manipulation by Russia and that it is taking people as hostages,” the deputy minister replied to the daily Ukrayinska Pravda.
Mariupol under siege
On Saturday, the Mariupol city council accused Russia of illegally bringing “several thousand” residents to Russia by force.
The city has been under heavy attackincluding one by one theater in which there were hundreds of civilian refugees, as well as the building of a art school near.
According to local authorities, more than 80% of residential buildings have been damaged by Russian shells and some 400,000 residents are caught between military battles.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on Sunday described the Mariupol siege as “an act of terror that will be remembered for centuries to come.”
He said that if an end to the Russian invasion is not negotiated, it will lead to “a third world war.”
Russian troops and allied groups have created several checkpoints in Mariupol.
“I think we have to use any format, any opportunity to have a chance to negotiate,” he told CNN.
However, he rejected any deal that would see Ukraine recognize Russian-backed breakaway regions in the east as independent.
