According to Pavlo Kyrylenko, head of the military administration of the Donetsk region, at least 35 airstrikes took place in the Azovstal power station area in Mariupol after Russia declared a ceasefire. The port city, surrounded by Russian forces, is part of the Donetsk region.
“The Russians are still beating. They knowingly beat more than a thousand civilians in the factory. Because that’s what they actually came here for: to beat, kill and destroy,” Kyrylenko said. Civilians are reportedly injured after the latest attacks.
Yesterday (25), Russia demanded the evacuation of civilians from the power plant area, where Ukrainians resist the advance of Russian forces in the devastated city. Mariupol officials estimate that more than 10,000 people died in the city.

“More Brutality”
In a message he shared yesterday, Kyrylenko compared the situation in Mariupol to almost eighty years ago, when the city was occupied by the Nazis. “More brutality, more murder, more destruction. The Russians have already repeated and exceeded the crimes of the Nazis in Mariupol. They will repeat the glorious flight,” Kyrylenko said.
The military chief saved the testimonies of Mariupol residents to the press about the Nazi occupation in September 1943. They said the city had turned into a “great cemetery”.
According to Kyrylenko, residents “could not have foreseen then that the Russian invasion would be even more devastating”.
Referring to the reports in the Soviet newspapers at the time, he remembered the German flight with records of looting and assault. “And just as then, it will end sadly for the invaders, and the blue and yellow flag of freedom will again fly over Mariupol,” said Kyrylenko. Said.
