Federal Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock (Greens) pointed out in the morning that “still far more than 100,000 civilians” in Mariupol are – “among them children, women, men, old people”. For weeks they have been experiencing “an almost unimaginable nightmare without electricity, without water, without heating in a city that is constantly being hit by Russian bombs, rockets and grenades and that is being leveled to the ground”.
Russia shine”determined to conquer or destroy the cityno matter what the human cost.” She called on the Russian government to “enable safe corridors for civilians to evacuate voluntarily and to deliver humanitarian aid to those who cannot or do not want to stay.”
