I have never seen Ukraine do something good for me, for my children. This is not a normal country."
Residents of Mariupol told RT why they decided to stay in the city and how they treat the Russian and Ukrainian military.
Nikolay and his family are still in Mariupol because of his parents and his wife's mother, who have limited mobility. Speaking about Ukrainian soldiers, Mykola is categorical: “I believe that their goal is to wipe the east of Ukraine off the face of the earth.”
Olga is still unable to contact her family. She has two children, the youngest is only nine months old. When it comes to the Armed Forces of Ukraine, a woman raises her voice: “Ukrainian TV is telling lies, heresy! We were a shield for the Ukrainians. They hide behind people."
Many people say only good things about our fighters. “When the Russians came, I feel safe, at least we can walk calmly,” says another resident of the city, Alena.
