'Children, elderly people are dying. The city is destroyed and it has been wiped off the face of the earth.' In the Ukrainian port of Mariupol, besieged by Russian invading forces, a Ukrainian police officer pleads for more military assistance from abroad.
from a rubble-strewn street, Mariupol police officer Michail Vershnin told President Joe Biden and French President Emmanuel Macron that they had promised assistance, “but what we have received is not quite it,” and urged them to save the civilian population.
“Children, elderly people are dying. The city is destroyed and it has been wiped off the face of the earth,” he said speaking in Russian in the video filmed Friday that was authenticated by The Associated Press. In it, flames can be seen coming from several buildings while others were decimated. Apparent explosions could also be heard.“You have promised that there will be help, give us that help. Biden, Macron, you are great leaders. Be them to the end,” he said.
