Russian troops resumed their assault on the Azovstal steel plant in Mariupol after a UN convoy left the Donetsk region.

According to Ukrinform, Petro Andriushchenko, an adviser to the mayor of Mariupol, said this on Telegram.

"As expected, after a UN convoy left the Donetsk region, the occupiers began storming Azovstal. In particular, they unsuccessfully tried to break through the bridge that was the gate of evacuation," he said.
