“They (defenders of Mariupol, – Ed.) are all heroes there. If there was even a small opportunity to release them from siege in terms of a military operation, it would happen.”
Danilov states that the necessary amount of heavy equipment for the implementation of force lifting the siege is not yet available.
“Unfortunately, we do not have enough of what we call heavy weapons and armor today. If there was, the President of Ukraine would have given the command and a special operation would have been carried out.”
