According to him, the “missile attacks” against Ukrainian cities continue while Mariupol, where a port of key strategic importance in the Sea of ​​Azov is located, is being leveled.
Russia “no longer has a language, a humanity, a culture,” Pontoliak continued, “only missiles, bombs and the intention to wipe out (Ukraine) from the face of the earth.”
