“Ukrainian marines defending Mariupol have issued a public statement in which they criticize President Volodymyr Zelensky and the high command. The 36e marine brigade accused the country’s leaders of having abandoned them without ammunition in the besieged port, and announced that this might be their last day of combat.
On April 11, it was elements of the Azov regiment who claimed to have been victims of a “chemical attack”. Quoted by the online daily Oukraïnska Pravda, Pavlo Kirilenko, head of the military administration of the Donetsk region, said: “Three people have been suffering since yesterday evening in Mariupol following an explosion of an unknown material launched by the Russians using a drone. For the moment, it is too early to establish what material it is exactly and if we can consider this attack as a chemical attack.
The next day, “The Ministry of Defense has indicated that the country’s military authorities are verifying information on the possible use of chemical weapons. For the moment, we are considering the hypothesis of phosphorus ammunition”.
