Zelensky warns Russia of consequences of killing military, civilians at Azovstal plant

He said this at a virtual event held by Chatham House on Friday, May 6, according to an Ukrinform correspondent.

"If they kill people who can now be exchanged if they are military, or released if they are civilians, or helped if they are wounded military or civilians, there will be nothing to talk about with them at the diplomatic level," Zelensky said.

On May 6, during a ceasefire at the Azovstal steel plant, Russian invaders used anti-tank guided missiles to hit an evacuation vehicle moving toward civilians. One fighter was killed and six were wounded by the shelling.

Fighters of the Azov Regiment, who are defending Mariupol, called on the international community to evacuate civilians from the Azovstal plant and urged the Supreme Commander-in-Chief to take care of the wounded soldiers.
