The last humanitarian convoy arriving has been stopped for four days because the Russians do not allow it to enter the city. “The Russian army – concluded the deputy mayor – realizes that there can be no victory in the direct confrontation with the army Ukrainian and therefore is trying, by attacking civilians and infrastructures, to force us to surrender.
