"We believe that China will not remain aside, that it will not remain silent. Therefore, we ask the dear Xi Jinping to do everything to save world values," - the wife of the Ukrainian defender stressed.
The father of the soldier of the Mariupol garrison from the "Azov" regiment noted that Ukraine asks to remove the bodies of the dead and wounded according to the extraction procedure - to a third country, neutral, where they will remain until the end of combat actions in Ukraine.
