The city of Mariupol is still holding out against Russian bombardment, a symbol of Ukrainian resistance that has thwarted the Kremlin's invasion plans.
Video shared by police in Ukraine shows the heartwarming moment that rescuers pulled a whimpering puppy from a pile of debris.
The giant Azovstal steel mill and other industrial plants have been heavily damaged by the ferocious Russian bombardment that has flattened much of Mariupol, indiscriminately hitting homes, hospitals and other public buildings and killing thousands. Moscow has deployed fighters from Chechnya, known for their ferocity, to wage street battles in Mariupol. Chechnya’s Moscow-backed leader, Ramzan Kadyrov, has repeatedly boasted on his messaging app channel about defeating Ukrainians in Mariupol, but the fight has continued.
In a post on the brigade's Facebook page, one of its officers described the unit's heroic resistance, saying that "for more than a month, the marines have been fighting without replenishing ammunition, food and water supplies." "The wounded accounted for nearly a half of the brigade's strength, but those who still had their limbs and were capable of walking reported back to duty," the post said.
The Azov Regiment claimed Monday, without providing evidence, that a drone had dropped a poisonous substance on its positions but inflicted no serious injuries. A Ukrainian defense official said the attack possibly involved phosphorus munitions.
