Russian President Vladimir Putin has declared Mariupol independent.  Although Ukraine has not commented on this, they know that the southern port city of the country is 'subordinate' to Russia.  Mayor Bedim Boychenko has urged all Mariupol residents to leave the city immediately.  "The only demand now is to rescue everyone," he told the national TV channel.  At least 100,000 people are still trapped in Mariupol.

 

 Lack of communication is the biggest obstacle in the rescue operation.  No electricity connection for a long time.  Mobile useless.  No TV.  No internet.  Mariupol is in the dark about the outside world.  Their idea is that this is the situation in the whole of Ukraine.  The administration is sending rescue buses to multiple places in the city.  But no one is getting scared.  Only 69 people were rescued in three school buses yesterday.  Mayor Boychenko said he was not in Mariupol.  He is determined to rescue the residents, even if they are out of town.  However, he acknowledged that their numbers were not enough to defeat Putin's government.  The Kremlin said yesterday that Russian forces would not enter the costal factory and launch an operation.  But no one will be allowed to come out from inside.  The Russian president himself instructed to see to it that not a single fly could melt.  But today, they said, a ceasefire has been decided.  Ukrainian troops and residents will be allowed to leave the factory.  Russia's Defense Ministry has announced that it is ready to build a safe human corridor from the steel plant.  But the army has to surrender.  "We reiterate that Russia is ready to end the war, the ministry said in a statement.  We will keep quiet, we will rescue people, but for that the Ukrainian army will have to raise the white flag. "Ukraine has not yet responded to Russia's offer.

 

 Moscow has previously accused the Ukrainian government of violating the agreement.  Ukraine has similar allegations against Moscow.  Putin told European Council President Charles Mitchell today that he would only meet with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky if there was a possibility of a positive decision in the talks.  However, the Kiev leadership says it is not possible for Russia to comply with all conditions.  Asked why the peace talks were failing, a Ukrainian minister said in the past, "We have democracy in our country.  Everyone's words matter.  But there is no place for talks in Russia. "
