Vladimir Putin called the attack on the Azovstal plant in Mariupol inappropriate and ordered it to be stopped immediately. This happened during his meeting with Defense Minister Shoigu.
He added that in this way he wants to save the Russian military.
“We need to think about the life and health of our soldiers and officers. There is no need to go into these catacombs and crawl under the industrial zone, ”TASS quotes the words of the head of the Russian state.
“Lock this industrial area so that not a single fly flies out of there,” Putin ordered.
