In his last video address to the people of Ukraine on Saturday, President Volodymyr Zelensky referred to the situation in the besieged port city of Mariupol and promised a better future as soon as the hostilities end. Zelensky said that “the situation in Mariupol remains as serious as possible. It is simply inhumane.” “Russia is deliberately trying to destroy everyone there in Mariupol,” he said. An estimated 100,000 people remain in Mariupol and its environs, which are largely under Russian control, with Ukrainian troops confined to pockets of resistance. “There are only two ways to influence this,” Zelensky said. “Either our partners will give Ukraine all the necessary heavy weapons, planes and, without exaggeration, immediately … Or a negotiating route, in which the role of the partners should also be decisive.” Zelesnky said his government was trying daily to end the siege of Mariupol: “Military or diplomatic – anything to save the people. But finding that solution is extremely difficult.” “Although we have heard many intentions from those who wanted to help and who are really in positions of international influence, none of them have been realized yet.” he added. French President Emmanuel Macron proposed a mass evacuation from the sea on March 25, but the plan went nowhere. Zelensky said that every day either he or the leader of the armed forces or the head of the Ukrainian negotiating team was “in contact with our defenders of Mariupol. Every day”. Zelensky also said his government had begun planning for a post-war future. “Today I had a meeting dedicated to rebuilding our cities,” he said. “Of course, this is a huge amount of work. But even less than defending the state in war.” The president added: “Now is a historic moment; the moment when we can solve many old problems of our whole environment once and for all.” Zelensky referred to the housing situation and what he called “a real modernization of our cities.” “Millions of people know how difficult it is to get a house, to earn money for their own apartment, to build a house … Today, I set myself the task of providing temporary housing to all the displaced [internally displaced.]… Those whose house was destroyed by the war. “Temporary housing until we rebuild their houses.” Priority, he said, will be veterans’ homes to “provide housing for all those who have defended or are defending the state, who have worked or are working for the interests of society and do not have their own housing.” “It can no longer apply when a person devotes his entire life to military service, but retires without having his own apartment.” Zelensky also said that monuments were being planned, one of which “will tell the story of the damaged bridge in the Kiev region, which connected Irpin and Bucha with Kyiv. The story of people who escaped the Russian invaders in Kyiv using this bridge and this road. “ The bridge was the escape route for thousands of civilians fleeing Russian bombing in March.
