Sunday 24 April 2022 – Ukrainian presidential adviser Mykhailo Podolyak said Russian forces were “continuously attacking” the encircled Azovstal steel plant in the besieged city of Mariupol on Easter Sunday. The site has become one of the last significant holdouts of Ukrainian forces in the city, and is sheltering hundreds of soldiers and civilians. This weekend many Ukrainians attempted to celebrate one of their most important holidays of the year, Orthodox Easter, two months after the country was thrust into a devastating war. A Ukrainian presidential adviser said Russia was “trying to depopulate the east of Ukraine” amid heavy fighting there. Russia previously revealed the goal of its invasion is to take “full control” of southern Ukraine as well as the eastern Donbas region. US Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin met Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky in Kyiv on Sunday, making them the highest-level US officials to have traveled to the country since the Russian invasion began.
