Peter Maurer, President of The International Committee of the Red Cross, assures that he makes every effort to organize humanitarian corridors to and from Mariupol.
On 7 March, during fighting for Mariupol, Ukrainian marines and a battalion of Azov volunteers destroyed a Russian tank company, along with 6 armoured vehicles and 40 troops.
Humanitarian aid has not yet arrived in the city of Mariupol in the Donetsk region, which remains blockaded by the Russian occupying forces. An aid shipment is currently halted in one of the towns in the Zaporizhia region.
