Since the first weeks of the invasion of Ukraine, the city of Mariupol in Donetsk has been under siege: the Russian army is on the outskirts of the port city and the Ukrainian forces, mainly Azov and other battalions, are in the city, despite the fact that the Russian army has increasingly taken control of the city.
This port city is very important, and Ukrainian forces still have control of the city centre and port. However, hostilities are intensifying and the Zvezda chain points out that Russia has taken control of the eastern district of the capital today.
On the other hand, a train wagon has set fire next to the port of Mariúpol and the Russian Army has raided the Azovstal metallurgy plant, still in the hands of the Ukrainians, which is the largest metallurgical plant in Europe. The Russian Army is using 240 millimeter 2S4 Tyulpan mortars, self-propelled by Mariupol, with 130 kilograms of projectiles, according to the Journal Finger Classes.
Next, the missiles launched at the Azovstal factory and the struggles of the port of Mariupol, by the hand of the Revista Armies:
