President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has said that unblocking Mariupol by military means is so far impossible due to the lack of heavy weapons. "It is impossible to unblock the city of Mariupol by military means. It's impossible today. These are not thoughts, these are the conclusions of the leadership of our army. Russia exchanges the military only if they are prisoners - for prisoners. This is the situation. This is the answer that comes from the Russian Federation. There are no other answers," President Zelenskyy said during a joint press conference with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. The head of the Ukrainian state explained that the Ukrainian troops need more heavy weapons to unblock Mariupol by military means.
